Israel, Lebanon to Talk in Washington as Ceasefire Falters

High-level talks between Israel and Lebanon are scheduled for next week in Washington. This comes as violence escalates along their border. The discussions will occur amid heavy strikes and rising casualties in Lebanon. There are also growing concerns that the fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Iran could collapse. Renewed disputes over the truce's terms and future security arrangements are adding to the tension. The Washington meeting is seen as a critical effort to prevent a wider regional conflict.
