The third day of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon in Rome concluded Thursday, with no details on the outcome released. The session marked the final round of talks scheduled for this week, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt's earlier report.
During the day's discussions, the Lebanese delegation demanded that Israel provide a list of Lebanese citizens held in Israeli custody, according to a report from ynet, published at 11:23 Jerusalem. The demand was made as the third round opened, the same source reported.
The Rome talks are part of a US-brokered diplomatic track aimed at implementing a tripartite framework agreement, as The Zioneer has reported. The negotiations come against the backdrop of a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which has been marked by mutual accusations of violations. Hezbollah has warned of a "proportionate response" to any Israeli ceasefire breaches, while Israeli officials have stated that Israel will not withdraw from Lebanon if Hezbollah remains in place.
It remains unclear whether the Lebanese demand was addressed during the session or what progress was made. The outcome of the day's discussions was not disclosed.
