Lebanon and Israel are set to hold talks in Washington to discuss a ceasefire. The meeting comes after a fragile ceasefire was broken and Israel carried out air strikes that killed over 300 people in Lebanon. Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun proposed direct negotiations with Israel to stop the bloodshed. Hezbollah, a Lebanese militia and political party backed by Iran, has been a major point of contention between the two countries. The group has been designated as a terrorist organisation by several countries, but in Lebanon, it is a powerful political party and social movement. The Lebanese government has limited influence over Hezbollah, which has been financed, trained, and armed by Iran since its creation in the 1980s.
