The United States welcomed "constructive" discussions between Israeli and Lebanese military delegations at the Pentagon on Friday, following nine hours of talks aimed at advancing the security track of ongoing peace negotiations between the two countries.
"Today at the Pentagon, I hosted military delegations from Israel and Lebanon as part of the security track aimed at supporting the ongoing peace talks between their two countries," said Elbridge Colby, the US Deputy Secretary of Defense, in a post on X.
However, no announcement was made regarding the effective implementation of a ceasefire in Lebanon, a point Beirut has been pressing for.
The silence on this issue underscores the complexity of the negotiations, with Lebanon pushing for concrete progress on the ground while broader diplomatic discussions continue.
Lebanon and Syria will in the coming months begin revising decades-old trade agreements to revive their economic relationship following the ouster of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad in 2024, Lebanon's economy minister told Reuters on Thursday.

Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah told parliament Thursday that the "ill-fated" framework agreement signed on June 26 between Lebanon and Israel was "doomed to fail," insisting "the Zionists will not be able to impose its implementation" and that "our people will thwart its effects on the ground."
