Lebanon and Israel have begun a new round of US-sponsored direct talks in Rome on Tuesday. The negotiations center on Beirut's pursuit of a phased Israeli withdrawal from the southern region of Lebanon.
This current diplomatic engagement follows previous discussions between the two nations, including working-level peace talks attended by US State Secretary Marco Rubio at the US State Department in Washington in April 2026, as well as subsequent negotiations in Washington in June where the parties agreed to a framework deal involving disarmament.
