Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors to US to meet Thursday
The Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors to Washington will hold a second preparatory meeting Thursday at the U.S. State Department, a Lebanese official told Al-Jazeera.
The official said Lebanese Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Moawad will represent Lebanon at the meeting, which is "considered a continuation of Tuesday's meeting."
A U.S. State Department official later confirmed that the United States will host a second round of ambassador-level talks between Israel and Lebanon on Thursday, April 23, at the Department of State, U.S. news portal Axios reported.
"The United States welcomes the productive engagement that began on April 14. We will continue to facilitate direct, good-faith discussions between the two governments," the official added.
MTV meanwhile quoted an official Lebanese source as saying that the discussions will be limited to the issue of the ceasefire.
