US-facilitated discussions between Israel and Lebanon have begun in Rome, according to the State Department. The talks are scheduled to continue through Thursday.

The initiative reflects Washington’s effort to support a more stable environment for both governments. Security is a central focus of the discussions, alongside broader efforts to strengthen stability.

By bringing Israeli and Lebanese representatives together, the United States is seeking to encourage dialogue on issues affecting their shared security environment. The State Department presented the meetings as part of its continued diplomatic engagement.
