Israel, Lebanon start day two of talks despite violence
Washington, United States, May 15 (AFP) May 15, 2026
Israel and Lebanon opened a second day of talks in Washington on Friday, diplomats said, despite a new flare-up of violence with Israel striking its northern neighbor.Envoys from the two countries, which have no diplomatic relations, resumed talks at the State Department shortly after 9 am (1300 GMT), one diplomat said. A State Department official said that the first day of talks Thursday had been "productive," but Israel later said that a soldier was killed in southern Lebanon and it launched new strikes targeting Hezbollah.
