Military officials from Israel and Lebanon held “productive” talks in Washington on Friday, a US official says, adding that the meeting will complement upcoming diplomatic discussions.
“Today at the Pentagon, I hosted military delegations from Israel and Lebanon for the security track supporting the ongoing peace talks between their two countries,” Elbridge Colby, the Pentagon’s second-in-command, says on X.
“We held productive military-to-military discussions which will inform the Department of State-led political track next week,” he says.
