Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam discussed preparations for the fifth round of talks with Israel scheduled to begin on June 22. The United States and Iran announced a peace deal, a memorandum of understanding that includes Lebanon. Lebanon and Israel have been holding direct talks in Washington since April.

According to m.naharnet.com, President Aoun and Prime Minister Salam view the US‑Iran memorandum of understanding as a positive factor.

Almonitor reported that Israel and Lebanon are expected to sign a framework agreement in Washington on Friday. The same outlet said the talks aim to secure an end to fighting between Israel and Iran‑backed Hezbollah militants. Almonitor also noted that officials did not provide details on the framework deal and did not say how its terms would differ from those in the April 16 ceasefire deal that preceded several rounds of U.S.-brokered Israel‑Lebanon talks.

Bluesky reported that talks between Lebanon and Israel aimed at negotiating a ceasefire and cementing border security are expected to continue.
