Lebanon and Israel will hold a new round of talks in Washington on May 14-15 aimed at seeking a peace deal, despite a new Israeli strike against Hezbollah, a United States official said on Thursday.
“There will be talks between Lebanon and Israel on Thursday and Friday next week in Washington,” a State Department official said on condition of anonymity.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there was no “immunity” for Israel’s enemies, a day after the Israeli military targeted a Hezbollah commander in its first strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs since a ceasefire declared last month.
Israel said the attack killed a commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force. Hezbollah, which controls Beirut’s southern suburbs, has not issued a statement on the strike or the commander’s status.
