Tel Aviv opposes new Lebanon withdrawal zones
Israel rejected Lebanon's request to designate new areas for its withdrawal from southern Lebanon, insisting on verifying full Lebanese Army control over two areas where forces had previously been deployed before proceeding with additional steps. This came after the seventh round of Rome negotiations, during which Lebanon demanded to move into new areas, while Israel insisted on ensuring control over the initial two regions before progressing further. A new round of negotiations is expected to take place on September 1st, under the supervision of the American mediator. This issue is considered a test of Israel’s seriousness in withdrawing and of the Lebanese Army’s capacity to deploy effectively and disarm areas of operation.
