The meeting between the Israeli ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, and the Lebanese ambassador to the same country, Nada Hamadeh, hosted by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington, came to an end after more than two hours, Axios reported on Tuesday.
Rubio previously described the negotiations as a "historic opportunity," and said that while not all issues would be settled in the coming hours, he hoped the parties would start to move towards an agreement.
Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah's leader Naim Qassem slammed the "futile" talks in a televised speech yesterday, while calling on the government to take "a historic and heroic stance" by not attending. The last time such high-level direct talks were held between Israel and Lebanon was in 1983, which led to the May 17 agreement, which was not implemented.
