The Lebanese delegation has arrived for a new round of US-mediated negotiations with Israel in Washington, Al Jazeera reports citing Lebanon’s National News Agency.
The discussions mark the fifth round of negotiations between the two sides and come amid a fragile ceasefire in Lebanon.

Lebanon is being represented by Ambassador Nada Mouawad, while the Israeli delegation is headed by Ambassador Yehiel Leiter. US officials are also participating in the talks.

The latest talks follow US-Iran negotiations that resulted in a ceasefire agreement on June 19 and the creation of a “Lebanon de-confliction cell” tasked with supporting efforts to maintain the cessation of military operations in Lebanon.
