Israel and Lebanon agreed to launch direct negotiations on a comprehensive peace deal following rare face-to-face talks involving Marco Rubio and diplomats from both sides. A joint statement said the U.S. hopes discussions can expand beyond the 2024 agreement. Israel’s ambassador Yechiel Leiter said both sides share a goal of eliminating Hezbollah.
