Lebanon PM says Lebanon is willing to resume negotiations with Israel, Al Haddath reports; Lebanon bans Hezbollah military activity and deems them outlawed.

The Lebanese Prime Minister's willingness to resume negotiations with Israel, coupled with a ban on Hezbollah's military activities, indicates a significant shift in Lebanon's internal and external stance. This move could de-escalate regional tensions, potentially stabilizing energy dynamics and affecting currency flows in the FX markets, particularly the USD and related commodities. However, market response will depend on the durability of these changes and broader geopolitical implications.
