A new round of talks between Lebanon and Israel regarding their disputed maritime border will be held in Washington D.C. from June 23rd to 25th. The meeting was confirmed following a phone conversation between U.S. Secretary of State Mark Rubio and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. This represents a continuation of efforts to resolve a long-standing dispute over oil and gas exploration rights in the Eastern Mediterranean. Previous negotiations, mediated by the United States, had stalled but are now being revived. The talks aim to demarcate the maritime boundary and allow for potential energy resource development. The resumption of discussions is seen as a positive step towards regional stability, though significant challenges remain. Details of the agenda have not been publicly released.
