Lebanon and Israel to resume talks to extend Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire
Lebanon and Israel are set to begin a second session of direct talks in Washington.
The discussions scheduled for Thursday are focused on extending a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah and planning future negotiations.
Lebanese Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Moawad and Israeli counterpart Yechiel Leiter are meeting for the second time in a week.
Lebanon President Joseph Aoun says contacts are ongoing to extend the 10-day ceasefire that started Friday.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar urges Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah.
Despite Hezbollah's rejection, the talks mark a significant step.
