Event details

Planned Israel-Lebanon negotiations, originally set for the coming week, were postponed until October, with organizers citing scheduling conflicts from the Jewish holidays, a Paris conference and preparations for the U.N. General Assembly. Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors are still expected to hold separate meetings in Washington in the interim.

Context

The delay pushes back any near-term progress on Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory and prisoner/displaced-person returns that Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has tied to a broader settlement.
