ROME: Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors are due to hold direct talks in Rome this month, Italy’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday, after several rounds of discussions in Washington aimed at de-escalation.
“We welcome with pleasure the announcement that the next round of talks between Israel and Lebanon mediated by the US will take place in Rome,” Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on X.
The talks would take place at the ambassador level on July 15 and 16, a ministry spokesman said.
This round of talks will be the sixth since spring between the two neighbours, which do not have diplomatic relations and are technically in a state of war.
