> Lebanon and Israel have held another round of direct negotiations in Rome, with the United States acting as broker. The meeting follows earlier discussions in Washington, where the two sides agreed on a framework covering Hezbollah’s disarmament and the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon. Hezbollah’s chief rejected the talks, describing them as a humiliation for Lebanon. The negotiations therefore remain contested despite the framework reached earlier.
