- Meetings focus on framework agreement, ‘pilot areas’ for Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon
By Wassim Seifeddine and Rania Abushamala
BEIRUT / ISTANBUL (AA) - Military and technical talks between Lebanon and Israel began Tuesday under US mediation at the US Central Command (CENTCOM) headquarters in Tampa, Florida, according to diplomatic sources in Beirut.
The meetings aim to review implementation of the “framework agreement” signed this June and discuss “pilot areas” in southern Lebanon from which the Israeli army is scheduled to withdraw.
The talks are part of US efforts to monitor implementation of the agreement, amid continued Israeli attacks on areas of southern Lebanon.
