Lebanon is seeking to postpone the eighth round of negotiations with Israel, which was supposed to take place in Rome, until after September 16. The official reason is the planned visit of Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to Paris, where a preparatory meeting for a conference in support of the Lebanese army will be held. Official sources in Beirut told the newspaper "Al-Jumhuriya" that Lebanon has not received an American update on the exact date. Meanwhile, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri told the newspaper that the situation in southern Lebanon is dangerous and solutions are far off. Berri expressed deep pessimism, noting that the framework agreement is not being implemented and that the killings and digging operations on the ground prove there are no solutions. These remarks reflect ongoing tensions surrounding the negotiation process between the parties.
