US President Donald Trump announced that new talks between Israel and Lebanon, this time involving their leaders, will take place on Thursday. He announced this on the social media platform TruthSocial, noting that Washington is seeking to reduce tensions between the two sides. According to Trump, approximately 34 years have passed since the last contact between the two countries' leaders.
The American president did not specify the location of the possible meeting. There have been no official comments from Israel or Lebanon at this time.
Earlier, talks between Israeli and Lebanese representatives took place in Washington on Tuesday. Following the meeting, Beirut announced a call for a ceasefire.
At the same time, as Israeli media reports, the meeting of the Israeli military-political cabinet on Wednesday ended without a decision on a ceasefire with the Hezbollah movement in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, according to the Financial Times, citing sources, a ceasefire agreement could be reached as early as this week. This is expected to occur after the Israeli military operation in the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil concludes.
