Israel and Lebanon have agreed to start talks “as soon as possible” on their disputed land border nearly four months after a ceasefire paused the most recent war between the two countries.

Israel and Lebanon have agreed to open negotiations to resolve longstanding disputes over the land border between the countries, two U.S. officials tell Axios. Why it matters: The Trump administration successfully pushed the two sides to come to the table just months after Israel invaded Lebanon as part of its war against Hezbollah.

Officials say negotiations would also include the future of Israeli military outposts in Lebanon and of Lebanese prisoners still held in Israel.

Netanyahu’s office says Israel had agreed with Lebanon, the U.S. and France to establish working groups to discuss the demarcation line between the two countries

A military meeting in southern Lebanon on Tuesday led to an agreement between Israel and Lebanon on the next steps on the Blue Line.

Israeli reports that Israel and Lebanon are looking to normalize ties are "overblown" and risk hindering work being done to negotiate border security as Hezbollah remains a chief threat.

"Just as Lebanon has claims regarding the borders, so do we. We will discuss these matters," an Israeli political source stated.
