Lebanon and Israel will hold a new round of direct talks in October, and negotiators are scheduled to meet in Rome for talks mediated by the United States. A round planned for this month was postponed without explanation.
The U.S. State Department also said that the Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors to the United States will meet at its Washington headquarters next week to discuss ongoing developments and the continuation of the implementation of the framework agreement reached in June.
Lebanon and Israel have held seven rounds of talks in Washington and Rome in recent months in search of a way to ease the latest clashes between Israeli forces and the Hezbollah group based in Lebanon.
The Lebanese president also made a rare visit to a southern city on Saturday, near where Israel captured a strategic hill.
