Lebanon to participate in Rome talks only if Israel withdraws from two 'pilot' zones: Diplomatic source

Lebanon demands Israel’s withdrawal from two "pilot zones" in the south before participating in the next round of direct talks in Rome next week, a diplomatic source told AFP on Wednesday.

The source, requesting anonymity, said “Lebanon is stipulating Israel’s withdrawal from two pilot zones in order to participate in the round of negotiations” that Italy and Israel said would take place in Rome on July 15 and 16, following a framework agreement signed last month.
