US-backed talks on Lebanon-Israel border arrangement set for Rome

A senior Lebanese official has confirmed that follow-up negotiations between Lebanese and Israeli military delegations will take place in Rome under American sponsorship. The announcement came on Wednesday, with the official speaking to Al Jazeera about the planned discussions. The talks are intended to build on previous negotiations and work towards establishing concrete agreements on implementation mechanisms for pilot zones in southern Lebanon. The involvement of the United States as mediator underscores Washington’s continued efforts to facilitate dialogue between the two countries, which have maintained a tense border situation for decades. The focus on pilot zones suggests the discussions are aimed at testing practical measures that could eventually be expanded to cover broader areas of the disputed border region.
