Third round of Lebanon-Israel talks kicks off as fighting between Israel, Hezbollah continues

In a significant development, the third round of direct talks between Israel and Lebanon kicked off in Washington on Thursday, days before the expiration of a truce that reduced but did not stop the fighting between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. Lebanese officials are hoping that the two-day negotiations will yield a new ceasefire deal and pave the way for tackling a series of thorny issues, including the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon and the disarmament of Hezbollah.
