Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has confirmed that the next round of talks with Lebanon will take place in Rome, as the two countries work to build on a framework agreement reached last month with US backing, AFP reports.

“Less than two weeks ago, Israel, Lebanon and the United States reached a historic framework agreement. These talks are due to continue next week in Rome, Italy,” Saar said during a joint press conference with his German counterpart Johann Wadephul in Jerusalem, adding that “Israel has no territorial ambitions in Lebanon.”
