Representatives from Israel and Lebanon are expected to meet for a round of talks in the coming days amid the intensified fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz reported Saturday.

The newspaper cited a source familiar with the matter as saying that former Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, who was asked to handle the "Lebanon file" by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will meet with the Lebanese representatives for direct negotiations.

The source added that the United States is also involved in the process, led on its behalf by Jared Kushner, son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Another source told the newspaper that the talks between Israel and Lebanon could take place in Cyprus or Paris.

According to another Lebanese official source on Saturday, the Lebanese president, prime minister, and speaker of Parliament are discussing forming a negotiating delegation, likely composed of ambassadorial-level officials, for the potential talks.

Cyprus is being considered as a potential meeting location, but Lebanon is open to holding talks in the capital of any European country, according to the source.
