Israel and Lebanon to Resume Peace Negotiations in Washington
U.S. State Department officials confirmed that Lebanese and Israeli representatives will resume high-level peace talks in Washington next week. The negotiations aim to finalize a long-term agreement as the current extended ceasefire is set to expire on May 17. The upcoming round, scheduled for next Thursday and Friday, will address border security and diplomatic normalization. This move follows a period of relative calm brokered by the U.S. despite minor violations reported by both sides.
