Senior diplomats from Lebanon and Israel met in Washington on Tuesday, a rare face-to-face encounter as their host, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, sought to make peace between the two states.
The event, which lasted more than two hours, was described as a working group aimed at reaching a ceasefire amid ongoing cross-border hostilities. It was attended by Lebanon’s ambassador to the United States, Nada Hamadeh Moawad, and her Israeli counterpart, Yechiel Leiter.
