The next round of US-brokered Israel-Lebanon talks, planned for Rome next week, was pushed to October, a US official said, citing scheduling constraints, particularly the UN General Assembly; Axios reported the Jewish holidays and a Paris conference on the Lebanese army were also factors. The two countries' ambassadors were still expected to meet at the State Department next week.
Why it matters
The delay leaves the June framework, covering Israeli withdrawal and Hezbollah disarmament, stalled while Israel tightens its hold around Nabatieh.
