Lebanese leaders traveled to Washington earlier this month for the first direct negotiations with Israel in over 30 years, attempting to restore sovereignty under near-impossible terms.
Al Jazeera's Justin Salhani asked people in Beirut for their opinions on the talks. Many locals are skeptical about the process, though some view it positively.
“We want peace, but I’m not sure if these negotiations will protect our interests,” one resident said.
The talks cover issues related to Lebanon's territorial integrity and water resources. Experts say this could be a historic moment, but much work remains to achieve concrete results.
