Lebanon and Israel are holding a second day of United States-brokered talks in Rome over Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon, but the session is unlikely to yield further pullbacks as the two sides remain split over disarming Hezbollah, according to a senior Lebanese official.

The negotiations on Wednesday are the second day of the second round of talks in Rome and the seventh overall, following five sessions in Washington. They aim to shore up a fragile ceasefire and build on a framework agreement signed in June.
