Israel’s aim in Rome talks with Lebanon is to “continue the positive momentum by establishing working groups on six issues,” an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
The working groups will be tasked with the maritime borders; the land borders; evaluating the pilot zones where the Lebanese army has replaced the IDF; disarming Hezbollah; stopping the flow of Iranian money into Lebanon; and stepping up reconstruction efforts in southern Lebanon.
