The talks will be held over two consecutive days, either Wednesday and Thursday or Thursday and Friday.
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said Wednesday that Lebanon is not seeking normalization with Israel, just peace. He said the goal of the meeting is to secure a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, the release of prisoners, the resolution of disputed border points, and the ability for all displaced residents to return.
Despite a resumption of negotiations, Lebanon’s al-Jadeed television channel reported Wednesday that Israel carried out an airstrike on the Haret Hreik area in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the first attack on the area in nearly a month.
