Beirut, Lebanon - December 03, 2025 Protests broke out in several areas of Beirut late Wednesday night after reports emerged claiming that a Lebanese representative had engaged in direct negotiations with an Israeli government envoy. The news quickly stirred anger among segments of the population, particularly supporters of Hezbollah, who view any direct contact with Israel as a breach of national principles and a threat to Lebanon’s political stance. Demonstrators gathered in districts across the capital, chanting slogans and blocking some streets as they demanded clarification from the government. Videos circulating online showed groups waving Lebanese and Hezbollah flags while calling for accountability from officials allegedly involved in the talks.
