US official: Israel-Lebanon border talks to begin in mid-October

US envoy David Schenker says the border negotiations between Israel and Lebanon will start in the week of October 12.

Lebanon and Israel said earlier they will hold US-brokered negotiations on their disputed land and maritime borders, in what Washington hailed as a “historic” agreement between two sides, who are technically still at war.
