Post-UNIFIL forces likely to lead
The article discusses the developments in the negotiations between Lebanon and Israel regarding the border and detainee issues, under American sponsorship, as part of the seventh round of "Rome 2" negotiations. It indicates that the Israeli delegation has shown readiness to explore both files, while Lebanon continues to pressure for expanding the experimental zones and including them within understanding agreements to verify that the targeted areas are free of Hezbollah military presence. There is a possibility that Italy might oversee these areas, in accordance with an agreement to involve international observers without the need for a Security Council resolution. The article also highlights Lebanon's stance on maintaining its borders in line with the 1949 Agreement of Ceasefire, rejecting any exchange of border territories. Additionally, it discusses disagreements over the maritime boundary, emphasizing Lebanon's position that future understandings depend on mutual agreement between the sides. The U.S. is reportedly exerting pressure on Israel to include the expansion of zones in the agenda and to establish borders that secure full Lebanese sovereignty.
