Lebanon, Israel to hold next talks in Italy on August 4, Lebanese official says
The talks will discuss technical details for phased Israeli withdrawals, Lebanese troop deployments and pilot zones under a U.S.-brokered framework.
- Lebanon and Israel will hold their next round of U.S.-brokered talks on August 4 in Italy, a Lebanese official told Reuters on Wednesday, as the two countries begin implementing a withdrawal plan from southern Lebanon.
- Following three months of face-to-face negotiations since the March 2 war, five prior meetings hosted by the United States produced a framework deal late last month that foresees Hezbollah's disarmament and the progressive withdrawal of Israeli troops.
- Israeli forces recently withdrew from Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh this week, where Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam visited Wednesday to oversee efforts to restore public services and clear rubble so residents could return.
- During his first official trip to Washington, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said Israeli withdrawal could remove "the root cause that Hezbollah has long cited as its justification" for remaining armed.
- Israel continues to occupy a buffer zone about 10 km inside Lebanon along the border, citing the need to protect northern communities, while tens of thousands of Lebanese remain displaced.
