Israeli and Lebanese officials will meet on Thursday in Washington to continue the dialogue they started last week about ending the war that has engulfed their countries.

An Israeli official confirmed to the Washington Examiner that delegations will be led by Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter and Lebanese Ambassador to the U.S. Nada Hamadeh Moawad, both of whom led their sides during last week’s initial talks. Both ambassadors and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met at the State Department last Tuesday in what was the two countries’ first face-to-face direct negotiations in decades.
