A special session to discuss the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has been added to the schedule for the talks on the US-Iran deal in Switzerland, CBS News reports.

The outlet, citing a diplomat attending the talks, says the special discussion is the first thing on the agenda.

Neither Israel nor the terror group are represented at the talks.

The talks in Switzerland were scheduled to begin on Friday, after the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding on Wednesday. But they were delayed amid friction over ongoing fighting between Hezbollah and Israel, with Iran yesterday claiming it had re-closed the Strait of Hormuz.

That crisis has been resolved, at least for now, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructing the IDF to “hold its fire” in Lebanon, Channel 12 reported yesterday.
