Israel, Lebanon to Hold Second Round of Talks in Washington on Thursday, Israeli Source Says
U.S.-brokered talks will follow rare direct ambassador-level meetings as both sides seek to extend a 10-day ceasefire and avoid negotiations under fire.
- On Thursday, Israel and Lebanon will hold a second round of preparatory talks in Washington, with Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter representing Israel and diplomat Simon Karam leading the Lebanese delegation.
- These discussions occur amid a 10-day ceasefire that began on Friday, though Israeli military forces continue to demolish homes in southern Lebanon while reconnaissance aircraft still patrol the border region.
- Rescue teams in Tyre recovered a body from a building struck before Friday's ceasefire, raising the death toll to 19 with four people still missing. Israeli forces demolished residential buildings in Shamaa, Naqoura, and Bayyada.
- Lebanese President Joseph Aoun emphasized negotiations aim to "bring this war to an end and achieve lasting stability," while Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah said "no one- not in Lebanon or abroad- will be able to disarm Hezbollah."
- MTV Lebanon reported that a meeting between Aoun and President Donald Trump is being prepared "and could take place soon." Future diplomatic progress depends on developments in coming days regarding ceasefire extension.
