U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said yesterday's talks between Israel and Lebanon produced 'very good results,' according to i24NEWS. The brief statement did not specify details on the topics covered or whether any joint document is being prepared.
The comment follows a reported improvement in the atmosphere of the talks earlier this week. Saudi channel Al-Hadath reported Wednesday an improved tone in the negotiations, with the U.S. hoping for a joint statement and action plan. Rubio spoke about the talks on Thursday afternoon Jerusalem time, as diplomatic channels on the northern border continue.
No further information has been released about what the 'very good results' entail, or whether they indicate concrete progress toward a broader agreement or a more limited understanding.
