Lebanon and Israel ambassadors to meet in Washington amid stalled negotiations
Diplomatic efforts to maintain the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire path are shifting to Washington as the eighth round of negotiations in Rome has been postponed to October. The delay is attributed to scheduling conflicts involving the UN General Assembly, Jewish holidays, and the Paris conference regarding support for the Lebanese army.
To prevent a total collapse of communications, the Lebanese Ambassador, Nada Hamadeh Mouawad, and the Israeli Ambassador, Yehiel Leiter, are scheduled to meet at the US State Department. This meeting aims to discuss the implementation of the 'Tripartite Framework' established in June, which outlines a gradual Israeli withdrawal in parallel with the deployment of the Lebanese army.
However, tensions remain high as Israeli military operations continue in southern Lebanon. Disagreements persist regarding the speed of Lebanese army deployment and the conditions for Israeli withdrawal. Some analysts suggest that the framework's finalization may be delayed by upcoming Israeli elections in October.
