The next round of US-mediated Israel-Lebanon talks is scheduled to take place in Rome from August 4 to 6, a senior US official said, according to Israeli media. The official said the discussions will address expanding the pilot zones for the gradual IDF withdrawal from southern Lebanon, land border disputes, and a comprehensive peace agreement.
The pilot program, which emerged during talks in Washington in June, provides a framework for a phased Israeli withdrawal under American supervision. The inclusion of a comprehensive peace agreement, if confirmed, would mark a significant broadening of the talks beyond security arrangements.
The Zioneer reported on July 22 that the next round of negotiations would be held at the ambassador level in August. The talks are expected to be the highest-level direct engagement between the two countries since the start of the current diplomatic track.
