U.S. Details Rome Talks on Lebanon
The U.S. State Department announced that the Rome negotiations between Lebanon and Israel were "productive" at both the technical and expert levels, and mentioned that the two sides have moved closer to reaching an agreement on the steps necessary to expand the scope of negotiations. These steps include the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon and handing over control to the Lebanese army. However, sources indicate that Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon have complicated the seventh round of talks, and significant progress or a full Israeli withdrawal are not expected before Israel's upcoming elections in the fall. Additionally, the Lebanese side expressed hope to regain some villages, but Israel rejected this, stating that they demand a third-party review to verify the absence of Hezbollah elements from the territories, with Italy approaching to assume this role. In this context, Israeli officials confirmed that disarming Hezbollah requires a political agreement rather than merely military efforts.
