Report: Local and external talks ongoing despite setback of US negotiations proposal

Despite the setback of Israel’s rejection of a U.S. proposal for indirect negotiations with Lebanon, “contacts have not stopped, both domestically and externally,” Lebanese official sources said.

“Things are not completely deadlocked, especially that a political solution between Lebanon and Israel represents a priority and an objective for the Americans,” the sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Tuesday.

“Accordingly, it is not ruled out that this matter might gain some steam in the foreseeable future, which might coincide with the arrival of envoys who would activate the political solution course,” the sources added.
