Israel-Lebanon talks postponed as explosions rock southern Lebanon
President Aoun says 'no new negotiations with Israel at the moment'.
The scheduled United States-mediated talks between Israel and Lebanon have been delayed until October, according to a US State Department spokesperson. Originally planned for Rome, the meeting will now occur next month. Despite this postponement, representatives from both nations are anticipated to convene at the US State Department to address the implementation of a framework agreement aimed at disarming Hezbollah and facilitating the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon.
An Israeli source cited scheduling complications as the reason for the delay. However, the postponement arrives as tensions escalate over the framework's execution and concerns about the speed of de-arming Hezbollah. A Lebanese official has accused Israeli forces of indiscriminate attacks in southern Lebanon, claiming such strikes are impeding Beirut's efforts to secure Hezbollah's disarming.
In contrast, Israel asserts that Lebanon's Armed Forces are not yet fit to fully execute the mission of dismantling Hezbollah's military infrastructure.
