Lebanon to Join Rome Talks with Israel
Developing
In Short: Lebanon will participate in upcoming talks with Israel in Rome, following conditions set for previous engagements.
A Lebanese official told AFP on Saturday that Lebanon would join planned talks with Israel in Rome next week, marking a potential shift in the country's stance on negotiations.
