Lebanon is requesting a one-month extension of the current ceasefire with Israel during talks in Washington. The truce is set to expire within days.

Israel has indicated no major disputes with Lebanon, urging cooperation against Hezbollah, which is not participating in the negotiations. This meeting follows a historic April 14 discussion, the first since 1993, aimed at ending a prolonged conflict.

A 10-day truce, announced by the U.S. after the initial meeting, expires Sunday.

Lebanese authorities report at least 2,454 fatalities and one million displaced due to Israeli actions since the war's commencement.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is mediating the talks, joined by ambassadors from both nations and U.S. diplomats.

Ahead of the discussions, Israeli strikes on Wednesday killed five people in Lebanon, targeting what Israel states are Hezbollah positions despite the ceasefire.

Lebanon's official objectives include a truce extension, an end to Israeli bombings, and a commitment to the ceasefire.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar identified Hezbollah as the primary obstacle to peace and normalization between the two countries.

Hezbollah has conducted attacks into Israel in retaliation for Israeli actions and U.S.-Israeli involvement. Israeli forces maintain a security zone in southern Lebanon.

U.S. President Donald Trump previously announced an indefinite extension of the truce in effect since April 8.
