Israel and Lebanon will discuss a Lebanese proposal to extend their 10-day ceasefire and a halt to Israel’s demolition operations in villages and towns in the south of the country, President Joseph Aoun said on Wednesday, according to a source familiar with the details.

The Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors to the United States are set to meet on Thursday for a second round of talks between the two countries. The goal of the discussions is to advance the disarmament of Hezbollah and promote normalization between the two neighbors.

Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter and Lebanese Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Mouawad are set to return to the United States to meet at the State Department, after their first meeting last week, with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio convening the sides.

“It will be a significant extension, not just for a few days,” the source told The Jerusalem Post.
