On Friday, the US State Department announced a new round of direct Lebanese-Israeli negotiations to be held in Washington, DC, on June 23-25.<\/p>\n
The latest round marks the fifth session of talks between Lebanon and Israel, following four previous rounds that began in April as part of a process aimed at reaching an agreement between the two sides.<\/p>\n
The talks come after the US-Iran memorandum of understanding entered into force on June 18, following its electronic signing by US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. The agreement includes a provision committing the parties to respect Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.<\/p>\n
Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed more than 4,100 people and injured over 12,000 others since March 2, according to official Lebanese figures.<\/p>\n
