Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that any peace agreement reached with Lebanon must be one that "lasts for generations."

"Lebanon has approached us. In the past month, it has reached out several times to begin direct peace talks," Netanyahu said in a televised statement.

Lebanese authorities said on Saturday that Israeli strikes have killed 2,020 people since the start of the war between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah last month.

Lebanese official media reported extensive Israeli strikes across the country's south on Sunday as the health ministry said at least five people were killed and the war's overall toll rose to 2,055 dead.

Hezbollah denied on Sunday any link to a cell accused by Syrian authorities of planning an attack on a religious figure in Damascus, saying it conducts no activity in the country.

Pakistan's foreign minister insisted on Sunday Washington and Tehran must uphold a ceasefire agreement, after marathon talks between the two sides to end the war in the Middle East ended without an agreement.

Iran's foreign ministry said no one had held any expectation that talks with the United States could have reached an agreement within one session after the negotiations in Islamabad stalled on Sunday.

Iran and the United States failed to reach an agreement to end the war in the Middle East, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Sunday after marathon talks in Islamabad, adding that he was leaving after giving Tehran the "final and best offer".

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday that the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran had succeeded in "crushing" the Islamic republic's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

Two U.S. Navy warships transited the Strait of Hormuz to begin clearing Iranian-laid mines, U.S. Central Command said Saturday -- a claim Tehran denied as the Revolutionary Guards threatened to deal "severely" with military vessels crossing the strategic waterway.

U.S. President Donald Trump said prior to the failure of the Islamabad talks that he was not bothered about any outcome of the negotiations, insisting the United States had come out ahead from the war.
