Ambassador Yechiel Leiter made the remarks at a public conference, according to quotes published in American media and reported by N12. The announcement confirms earlier reports that the next round of talks would be held in Rome on July 14–15, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. Leiter also reiterated that the tripartite agreement between Israel, Lebanon, and the United States takes legal and diplomatic precedence over the US-Iran memorandum of understanding on Lebanon, a position he has voiced previously. The shift in venue from Washington to Rome marks a change in the negotiation format, with the talks now scheduled for mid-July. The precise agenda and composition of the Lebanese delegation have not yet been confirmed.
