Published 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
Israel and Lebanon have held their first direct diplomatic talks in decades in Washington.
Israel has been conducting an air and ground campaign in Lebanon - insisting that the current ceasefire - with Iran - does not apply to fighting in Lebanon.
The Israeli Ambassador to the United States told reporters overnight that his government, and those of Lebanon and the US, are united in their goal to remove Hezbollah's influence in Lebanon's south.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah has rejected the talks and say it won't adhere to any terms agreed.
