Israel to send representative to Lebanon meeting aiming for economic cooperation

Israel will send a representative to meet officials in Lebanon in a bid to establish a basis for a relationship and economic cooperation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Wednesday.

Israel and Lebanon entered a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement last year, but Israel has not halted strikes against Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group ever since.

Israel's acting director of the National Security Council will send a representative on his behalf, the office added.
