Lebanon is launching talks with Israel days after the United States and Iran failed to reach an agreement to end the broader Middle East war. The two sides have declared a two-week truce that Iran and mediator Pakistan insist includes Lebanon, but which Israel and Washington have said does not. Beirut says 2,089 people have been killed, including 166 children and 88 healthcare workers, since the war spread to Lebanon on March 2. (Kawnat Haju/AFP via Getty Images/TNS)")
