US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to join the meeting between the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors in Washington later today.

Holocaust survivor Miki Zamir and his granddaughter, Maj. Noa Zamir, head of operations at Israelβs Home Front Command, together pressed the button to sound the Holocaust Remembrance Day siren this morning.
