April 12, 2026 — Israel-Lebanon Direct Talks Set for Tuesday in Washington.
Washington Talks Tuesday
Despite the failure of U.S.-Iran negotiations, a separate diplomatic track is advancing: Israel and Lebanon are set to begin direct negotiations in Washington on Tuesday. Israeli PM Netanyahu authorized the talks — a historic step given the absence of formal diplomatic relations between the two countries. The negotiations will focus on disarming Hezbollah and establishing border security arrangements, issues that have defied resolution for decades.
