Rome-3 deadline tied to US efforts to break deadlock
The article discusses the United States' efforts to bolster negotiations between Lebanon and Israel regarding the implementation of the "Framework Agreement" to halt border escalations. It highlights the focus on activating verification mechanisms for the deployment of the army and the disarmament of Hezbollah. Washington is cautious about setting a date for the eighth round of talks and is working to create a conducive political environment for progress, employing pressure on Israel and mediations with Hezbollah. The continuation of negotiations is linked to on-the-ground and political developments, including Hezbollah’s withdrawal from the hills and their placement under the control of the army or Parliament Speaker Nabil Berri, aiming to tighten the pressure on Israel and secure political gains within Lebanon. Washington faces difficulties in forming the verification mechanism, which requires Italy’s approval, amid concerns over regional tensions and the impact of elections on political decisions.
