US State Department officials stated that negotiations between Israel and Lebanon in Washington were productive and positive, with consultations continuing tomorrow. Lebanon demanded a ceasefire, while Israel aims to disarm Hezbollah and reach a peace agreement. The 8-hour talks occurred despite Hezbollah's opposition. The conflict escalated after Hezbollah fired missiles on March 2 during the US-Iran war. A fragile US-Iran ceasefire expires on the 17th.
