US President Donald Trump will meet Lebanese and Israeli envoys at a new round of peace talks on Thursday, with Beirut seeking a one-month extension of a shaky ceasefire set to expire.
With Trump struggling to push Iran into a deal on the wider regional war, the US is hoping for progress on Lebanon, which Israel has pounded in response to Hezbollah fire.
The talks, previously planned at the State Department like the first round last week and to be led by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, were shifted to the White House.

“President Trump will greet both representatives upon their arrival,” a US official said on condition of anonymity.
Israel stated ahead of the talks that it has no “serious disagreements” with the Lebanese government, calling on it to “work together” against Hezbollah, which is notably absent from and opposed to the negotiations.
