Lebanon and Israel to hold rare direct talks in Washington despite Hezbollah opposition
Lebanese and Israeli envoys meet in Washington on Tuesday for the first face-to-face talks in decades between representatives of the two countries, mediated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has warned it will not abide by any agreements that may result from the talks, describing them as "futile".
