According to the “Times of Israel” and other Israeli media today, citing sources, Israel has told the relevant mediators that Israel will refuse to carry out further military withdrawal actions in southern Lebanon during the Rome negotiations originally scheduled to be held next week. The report said that Israel's core claim in next week's Rome negotiations is to ensure its freedom of military action, that is, the Israeli military has the right to freely re-enter the area it handed over to the Lebanese government forces last week when it is so called necessary. Israel stressed that if an agreement on this “freedom of movement” cannot be reached, Israel will not agree to withdraw its troops from any more territories. The report also pointed out that until Hezbollah in Lebanon is completely disarmed, Israel will never agree to any further withdrawal of troops south of the so-called “yellow line” in the future. The report quoted an Israeli official as saying that within Israel's already consolidated line of defense, no more regions will be sold. According to reports, technical teams from the US, Israel and Lebanon are scheduled to meet from August 4 to 6. At that time, negotiations will focus on advancing the implementation of a framework agreement aimed at achieving a final peace agreement between Israel and Lebanon.
