What Happened
US President Donald Trump announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun will speak Thursday, their first direct contact in 34 years. Over 2,000 people have died and one million displaced in Lebanon since fighting intensified six weeks ago. The talks follow rare US ambassador meetings and occur during a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire. Both sides maintain different objectives, making tangible results uncertain.
