The State Department said progress was made during the first day of talks between Lebanon and Israel in Washington on Tuesday.
"Progress continues on the political and security tracks as we break from the failures of the past 20 years and advance toward a comprehensive agreement aimed at restoring Lebanon’s sovereignty and ensuring Israel's security," the State Department said, adding that "the United States remains fully committed to facilitating these historic negotiations."
Another round is scheduled for Wednesday.
