Lebanon and Israel are set to begin a second session of direct talks in Washington ... with ambassadors from both sides meeting for the second time in a week.
The discussions scheduled for later today are focused on extending a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah and planning future negotiations.
Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun says contacts are ongoing to extend the 10-day ceasefire that started Friday.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar urges Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah.
Despite Hezbollah's rejection, the talks mark a significant step.
The two countries have no diplomatic relations and officially have been at war since 1948.
