The US State Department announced that the American-brokered talks between Israel and Lebanon, which began today in Rome, will continue until August 6, according to N12.
The US State Department announced Tuesday that the American-brokered talks between Israel and Lebanon, which began in Rome on Monday, will continue through August 6. The confirmation extends the previously reported timeline, as The Zioneer reported on July 29 that the State Department had scheduled a round of negotiations for August 4–6.
Earlier on Monday, The Zioneer reported that the Lebanese delegation, led by former ambassador Simon Karam, had landed in Rome for a new round of talks, with discussions focusing on the border file and expanding pilot zones. Initial reports indicated the round had concluded on Monday, but the State Department's announcement clarifies that the talks are ongoing and will continue through the scheduled end date.
As The Zioneer reported on July 29, technical teams are expected to discuss expanding pilot zones and resolving remaining land border disputes, following the initial IDF withdrawal from southern Lebanon. The talks are part of a series of meetings aimed at implementing the pilot zone process and advancing toward a comprehensive security arrangement.
No details on the outcome of the discussions or any agreement have been disclosed by either Israeli or Lebanese officials. The State Department's announcement did not specify the agenda for the remaining days of talks.
