Lebanon-Israel Security Negotiations Stall Over Withdrawal Terms
Diplomatic talks between Lebanon and Israel have reportedly stalled as Beirut failed to secure a definitive ceasefire or a clear timeline for Israeli withdrawal from occupied southern territories. Israel has prioritized the establishment of a buffer zone and the complete disarmament of Hezbollah before committing to a full troop pullout. The deadlock in negotiations threatens to undermine recent progress made in Rome and increases the risk of renewed military escalation along the Blue Line.
