Rome talks on Tishrin postponement and diplomacy
The article addresses the status of the border demarcation negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, which remain inconclusive so far, with uncertainty about whether the next round will take place as scheduled. Dialogues are focusing on the possibility of postponing negotiations until after the Israeli Knesset elections on October 27, due to Israeli political calculations and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's desire to delay them. Meanwhile, international efforts, especially with the upcoming United Nations General Assembly meeting, are gaining importance to maintain the negotiation process and prevent its complete suspension. Statements and positions from various countries, particularly France and the United States, indicate support for continuing the negotiations and securing Lebanon and Israel’s participation in new talks in Rome, where discussions are underway to transition from understandings to practical steps on the ground. There is particular focus on Lebanon’s aspirations to expand security arrangements in the southern regions and on the continued international role to ensure monitoring of commitments and to insulate against potential tensions. Despite a tendency to delay, the fate of the upcoming round remains dependent on political, regional, and international developments. It is noted that Israel prefers to keep coordination direct with Lebanon and minimize international interventions, while Lebanon demands an active role to ensure the implementation of understandings and to oversee withdrawals.
