Washington weighs intervention in Lebanon's experimental zones
The article discusses the eighth round of Lebanese-Israeli negotiations scheduled to take place in Rome in early September. The aim is to break the deadlock by removing obstacles to the implementation of the "Framework Agreement," particularly regarding the expansion of "pilot areas," verification of the army's deployment, and the region's disarmament of Hezbollah's weapons. Sources indicate a desire by the United States to intervene in order to facilitate the expansion of these areas and advance the understandings, despite Israel's delays and Prime Minister Netanyahu's wish to postpone negotiations until after the Knesset elections. American efforts are focused on supporting Lebanon, strengthening President Aoun's position, and establishing a de facto situation to ensure the agreement's implementation. It is possible that this could be the final round, given Netanyahu’s preoccupation with upcoming elections. Additionally, an economic conference is scheduled for September to promote investment, but the prospects for negotiating progress remain uncertain—especially regarding the unresolved issues over the southern towns—amid pressures from Hezbollah and regional actors' diktats.
