00:00We're being told that Israeli and Lebanese officials are going to be holding these talks in Washington.
00:06And I wonder what you think these talks could realistically pave the way for.
00:10Well, it's a good start because the mechanism for any future talks would start being determined in these initial talks.
00:19At least there's a direct link now between Lebanese officials and Israeli officials at ambassador level
00:26with the sponsorship of the United States, particularly the U.S. ambassador in Lebanon being part of that.
00:34Now, how far can these talks go at this stage is still yet to be determined.
00:41But nevertheless, it's a good start to establish the framework, to establish a mechanism through which this discussion can actually
00:50happen,
00:50whether it materializes in something permanent right now or it begins towards that, it would be beneficial and positive.
