It follows a US-brokered agreement last month, that calls for the disarming of Hezbollah and a phased-out Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
Since March, the Israeli military has killed more than 4,000 Lebanese and displaced more than 1 million. It’s occupying 600km² in southern Lebanon.
The talks in Rome were meant to advance the agreement, with Lebanon insisting Israeli troops withdraw and Israel insisting Hezbollah lay down its weapons.
And with Hezbollah rejecting the deal, do the talks serve any purpose?
