The meetings will be held at the headquarters of the U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida, with American participation. U.S. General Joseph Clervault is expected to lead the American delegation.
According to Lebanese official sources, these sessions will resemble previous meetings held in Washington and Rome. The Lebanese delegation plans to present points raised during negotiations in Rome on August 4th and 5th. These points include alleged Israeli violations of agreed-upon arrangements in the "testing area," which the Lebanese side claims the Israeli military has re-entered and targeted, resulting in the death of a Lebanese citizen.
Meanwhile, a Lebanese government source reported that Lebanon has received messages from the United States, as well as Western and Arab countries, warning against involvement in any potential confrontation between Israel and Iran. The messages cautioned that Hezbollah's entry into any war would provoke a severe and widespread Israeli response. A message from Washington, reportedly delivered by Ambassador Nada Mwaouad, was sent to Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.
In a separate development, Saudi Al-Hadath channel reported the discovery of a tunnel in the Rweissat al-Jadideh area, northeast of Beirut, a region under Hezbollah's influence. The Lebanese army has reportedly proceeded to the site to investigate the tunnel and ascertain its details.
