US extends Lebanon-Israel ceasefire by 45 days, launches new negotiation tracks

U.S. State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the United States hosted two days of “highly-productive” talks between Israel and Lebanon on May 14 and 15.

In a statement, Pigott said, “The April 16 cessation of hostilities will be extended by 45 days to enable further progress.”

He added that “The State Department will reconvene the political track of negotiations on June 2 and June 3,” while “a security track will be launched at the Pentagon on May 29 with military delegations from both countries.”

Pigott said, “We hope these discussions will advance lasting peace between the two countries, full recognition of each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and establishing genuine security along their shared border.”
