Israel, Lebanon to continue talks in September as Hezbollah seeks to disrupt process - report
The discussions between the countries have included talks on a third country demining certain areas, a US official told Al-Arabiya English.
Israel and Lebanon are set to continue their peace talks in September, according to a US official speaking to Saudi state media. However, Hezbollah has expressed its intention to disrupt the process. The US remains hopeful about the talks, which have previously discussed topics such as Hezbollah's disarmament, Israeli withdrawal, and a comprehensive peace agreement.
The latest round of talks took place in Rome on August 6, where representatives discussed these issues in detail. Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem denounced these talks, calling them a source of shame and humiliation for Lebanon, and even criticized Lebanese President Joseph Aoun as a divisive figure. Since their inception in April, the talks have aimed to resolve the longstanding conflict between the two nations, including the return of Jewish remains buried in Lebanon for burial in Israel.
