According to CoinMeta, the seventh round of talks between Lebanon and Israel concluded in Rome on August 6th local time, with plans to continue on September 1st. Sources involved in the talks revealed that the two sides failed to reach an agreement on expanding the proposed pilot areas. Lebanon insisted on adding a new area, while Israel believed that further implementation should not proceed until the verification measures for the first two pilot areas were completed. The participants emphasized the necessity of maintaining the ceasefire and agreed to seek a new United Nations Security Council resolution as an international framework after the end of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.
