New round of talks in Washington: Lebanon, Israel to discuss truce extension
Lebanese and Israeli envoys will meet for the second time in two weeks in Washington on Thursday, building on nascent contacts between the states, with Lebanon hoping for the extension of a shaky ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel.
The 10-day, US-mediated ceasefire is set to expire on Sunday.
