Lebanese official confirms country's participation in Rome talks with Israel

A Lebanese official told AFP that Lebanon would take part in planned talks with Israel next week in Rome, after Beirut had previously conditioned participation on Israel withdrawing from certain areas it occupies in the south.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that "Lebanon will participate" without offering further details, as a U.S. military delegation visited the country to discuss implementing a framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel.
