Israel said refusing further withdrawals from Lebanon amid spat over who will verify Hezbollah disarmament

Israel is reportedly refusing to conduct further withdrawals from southern Lebanon amid disagreements over the mechanism for inspecting whether territory has been cleared of Hezbollah operatives and infrastructure.

After three days of US-mediated talks in Rome this week, the sides have yet to agree on which countries would be represented on the verification committee, Haaretz reports, adding that a small list of potential countries has been put together but that no consensus has been reached.
