Lebanon and Israel hold US-brokered talks in Rome on framework deal implementation and pilot zone withdrawals

Lebanon and Israel met in Rome on July 14-15, 2026, for US-brokered talks aimed at implementing a June 26 framework agreement that calls for Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon, deployment of Lebanese forces, and disarmament of militant groups. The talks focus on establishing 'pilot zones' where Hezbollah would disarm, Israeli forces would withdraw, and the Lebanese army would deploy. Hezbollah has rejected the framework agreement, and Israel has said its forces will remain as long as Hezbollah stays armed.
