Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says he expects ongoing talks in Rome with Lebanon will help implement an agreement on two “pilot zones” in southern Lebanon, referring to the withdrawal of Israeli troops from those areas.
“We are ready to move forward implementing these two pilot zones. I hope and tend to believe that this round of discussions in Rome will promote it,” Saar tells journalists at a press conference in Jerusalem.
