Will Washington Postpone the Resumption of Negotiations Between Lebanon and Israel?

Sources from "Al-Liwa" indicated that "the US administration will not call for the resumption of negotiation sessions between Lebanon and Israel except after the formation of the new Israeli government, which may take months if the efforts of Israeli parties fail to reach an agreement on its formation."

The sources confirmed that "communications are still ongoing in search of the optimal formula acceptable to both Lebanese and Americans for forming the international monitoring force that will oversee the situation in the South." They revealed that "the discussion now focuses on the idea of a formula combining some clauses of Resolution 1701 with some clauses of the framework agreement signed between Lebanon and Israel, but the idea has not yet matured regarding its details and how to align the resolution with the agreement."
