JAKARTA - The US State Department confirmed that it would host the third round of peace negotiations between representatives of Israel and Lebanon on May 14 and 15.
Citing Timesofisrael, Thursday, May 7, two previous rounds of negotiations in Washington were at the ambassadorial level (ambassador), as Lebanon rejected US pressure for Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to meet directly with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Aoun said a high-level meeting attended by heads of state would not be appropriate if the two negotiating parties had not reached a security agreement and Israel did not launch an attack in Lebanon.
Lebanon-Israel has discussed a framework for a peace deal that would eventually see Israel withdraw from Lebanon, while Lebanon disarms Hezbollah, then normalizes diplomatic relations between the two sides.
The second round of negotiations took place on April 23, and the US announced the result: a three-week extension of the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
The ceasefire was not felt in southern Lebanon, where Israel continues to bombard buildings under the pretext of Hezbollah infrastructure, in fact killing and injuring civilians, including journalists.
This aggression against Lebanon is also an attempt by Israel to annex six miles beyond its borders on the grounds that it is a buffer zone to protect its citizens from enemy fire.
