Israel-Lebanon Talks in Washington

The delegations will be led by Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter and former Lebanese Ambassador Simon Karam, with U.S. officials acting as mediators.

While a 10-day truce is currently in place, tensions remain high following months of devastating strikes that have displaced over a million people.

Lebanon's president has emphasized that the country will act independently of Iranian influence during the discussions.

The outcome of these talks is seen as a critical test for the potential to reach a durable peace agreement in the broader Middle East conflict.
