Lebanese Officers Decline Photos with Israeli Delegation During Washington Talks

Members of the Lebanese military delegation declined to take photographs with the Israeli delegation during negotiations held in Washington, according to a report by the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation on Wednesday.

An image released from the meeting displayed empty seats on the side designated for the Lebanese delegation, while the Israeli delegation's seats at the table were fully occupied.

The United States began a round of talks on Tuesday between Israel and Lebanon, focusing on both political and military tracks, aiming to advance a "comprehensive peace and security agreement."

This latest round of negotiations occurs amid a fragile ceasefire in Lebanon, with ongoing violations by Hezbollah militia and Israel posing risks to the US-Iranian negotiations.
