The ceasefire agreement is set to expire, planning to hold a new round of talks in the U.S.
On May 13 local time, CCTV reporters learned that as the latest ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon is set to expire, both sides are expected to hold a new round of peace negotiations in Washington, D.C. on the 14th.
The last talks between Israel and Lebanon took place on April 23 at the White House. At that time, U.S. President Trump announced a three-week extension of the ceasefire agreement and expressed optimism about reaching a historic deal.
Trump also predicted that during the latest ceasefire period, he would invite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to Washington for a historic summit.
However, this summit ultimately did not take place. Aoun stated that before holding such a symbolic meeting, both sides must first reach a security agreement, and Israel must also cease military strikes. (CCTV reporter Liu Xiaoqian)
