Israel and Lebanon commenced a fresh round of U.S.-facilitated talks in Rome on Tuesday to find a lasting solution to the prolonged hostilities between the two nations.<\/p>\n

The negotiations, scheduled to run until Thursday, come as Lebanon seeks a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from its southern region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States remains fully committed to\u00a0supporting both governments as they carry this process forward in \u200ca manner that delivers lasting security for both countries, eliminates security threats to Israel, and restores Lebanese state authority throughout the south,\u201d State\u00a0\u2060Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said.<\/p>\n

The Lebanese delegation is led by military chief Brigadier-General George Rizkallah and includes former ambassador to the U.S. Simon Karam as well as the current envoy, Nada Mouawad.<\/p>\n

However, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem criticised Lebanon\u2019s participation in the talks, describing the move as capitulation.<\/p>\n

He said the negotiations would bring \u201cnothing but shame, humiliation, and successive compromises\u201d for Beirut.<\/p>\n
