Israel and Lebanon to Hold Sixth US-Mediated Talks in Rome Mid-July
Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors are scheduled to hold the sixth round of US-mediated talks in Rome on July 15 and 16, aiming to advance a framework agreement signed last month for lasting peace. The agreement includes restoring Lebanese army authority in southern Lebanon, contingent on Hezbollah's disarmament. The talks follow a fragile ceasefire after fighting that began on March 2, triggered by Hezbollah's attack on Israel in response to Iran's supreme leader's death, leading to significant casualties and military operations.
