JAKARTA - Negotiations between Lebanon and Israel on the second day, which were held in Rome, Italy, ended after discussions on a number of issues raised by both parties.
Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) on Wednesday, July 15, reported that the talks specifically focused on discussing various issues related to the two "pilot areas". But no further details were immediately revealed about the results of the session.
Since Tuesday (14/7), Rome has hosted the sixth round of direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, after the previous five rounds were held in Washington, D.C. resulting in the signing of a framework agreement.
The agreement stipulates a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the occupied Lebanese territory, starting from two "pilot areas".
As reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, a spokesperson for the United States Department of State previously stated that the negotiations in Rome were "productive" and in a "positive atmosphere".
The agreement does not set a timetable for the withdrawal of troops and links it to the assumption of full security responsibility by the Lebanese army in areas vacated by Israeli forces as well as the disarmament of non-state armed groups, referring specifically to the Hezbollah group.
The negotiations in Rome took place as Israel was still continuing its attacks in Lebanon.
According to official Lebanese data, the attacks since March 2 have killed at least 4,324 people, injured 12,223 people, and caused more than 1 million people to flee.
Israel still occupies a number of areas in southern Lebanon, some of which have been occupied for decades, while other areas were seized during the 2023-2024 war.
