3rd round of Israel-Lebanon maritime talks ends, sides to meet again next month

The latest round of talks between Israel and Lebanon over the two countries’ disputed maritime border has ended.

A joint US-UN statement says the talks, at a base of the UN peacekeeping force UNIFIL in the Lebanese border town of Naqura, were “productive.”

The United States and the office of the UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon “remain hopeful that these negotiations will lead to a long-awaited resolution,” it says.

The sides agreed to meet again, for a fourth time, next month.
