Israel, Lebanon to resume dialogue in Washington following ceasefire

Israeli and Lebanese officials are expected to convene in Washington on Thursday (April 23) for a second round of talks.

The discussions would mark the first follow-up meeting since a 10-day ceasefire came into effect last week, Caliber.Az reports via Iranian media.
