Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Tuesday evening with US Ambassador to Lebanon Michele Issa and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who are leading the negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, according to Israel Hayom.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Tuesday evening in his office with the two US ambassadors spearheading the Israel-Lebanon diplomatic track: Michele Issa, the US Ambassador to Lebanon, and Mike Huckabee, the US Ambassador to Israel.
The meeting underscores the ongoing high-level engagement between Jerusalem and Washington over the framework agreement with Lebanon. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, the talks have been marked by both diplomatic progress and behind-the-scenes friction. US Ambassador Huckabee previously described the emerging deal as 'historic,' stating that both nations have recognized they are not at war with each other, while Ambassador Issa has acknowledged near-confrontations with Prime Minister Netanyahu over Lebanon policy.
No details on the content of Tuesday's meeting were immediately available. The talks come amid continued Israeli military operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and ongoing US-led efforts to secure a permanent arrangement.
