The “Times of Israel” quoted an American official on the 9th as saying that the Israeli military will withdraw from one of the two “pilot areas” in southern Lebanon within the next few days to create conditions for advancing the next phase of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon. The report said that according to the framework agreement reached between Israel and Lebanon in Washington, D.C., the Israeli side agreed to withdraw its troops from two small areas in southern Lebanon where Hezbollah military facilities in Lebanon have been cleared and handed over to the Lebanese Armed Forces. The report quoted an Arab official as saying that the Lebanese side has told the US that it will not participate in the new round of Lebanese-Israel negotiations scheduled to be held in Rome, Italy next week until Israel has completed its agreed withdrawal. Currently, the schedule for the withdrawal of troops from the second “pilot area” has not been announced.
