The US and Israel held a virtual meeting to discuss fighting between Hezbollah and Israel, Axios reported.
During the one hour meeting, White House national security advisor Jake Sullivan and senior Biden advisors Amos Hochstein and Brett McGurk exchanged ideas with the Israeli team, led by the Minister for Strategic Affairs and Netanyahu advisor Ron Dermer.
The two sides discussed how to end the fighting with Hezbollah if a ceasefire in Gaza is reached, but also how to reduce the border conflict if the war in Gaza continues.
Crossing border fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has displaced roughly 90,000 Israelis from the north and a similar number of Lebanese.
