Direct negotiations between Israel and Lebanon are set to begin next week in Washington, aiming to strengthen a temporary ceasefire in the ongoing conflict with Iran, according to Rks News.
A journalist from Axios reported on X that the first meeting between Israeli and Lebanese representatives will take place at the U.S. Department of State.
Lebanon has reportedly requested a ceasefire prior to the start of talks, according to the Agence France-Presse.
Meanwhile, an anonymous Lebanese official told Reuters that the discussions will follow a different format but “in the same model” as the U.S.-Iran talks mediated by Pakistan, as reported by Panorama.
The exact time and location have not yet been finalized, but Beirut requires the United States as mediator and guarantor for any potential agreement.
