Middle East4 sources3 countries53m ago
Formal negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, originally scheduled to occur in Rome in September, have been postponed until October. A U.S. State Department official confirmed the delay on Friday, noting that the planned Italian summit will no longer proceed as previously intended.
In the interim, representatives from Israel and Lebanon are expected to convene at the U.S. State Department in Washington. This shift in venue serves as a bridge for the diplomatic process while the broader negotiations in Rome remain rescheduled for the following month.
