Israel has refused to expand pilot programs in Lebanon due to the Lebanese army's failure to meet its commitments, i24NEWS reported Friday. An American source indicated that Israel is not interested in broadening the pilots, despite Lebanese pressure, as long as there is no tangible progress on the ground.
A Western source confirmed to i24NEWS that the United States is also dissatisfied with the Lebanese army's performance, noting its slow pace and failure to fulfill its part in the pilot program. According to this source, the Americans are engaged in direct discussions with the Lebanese government to advance the issue, but emphasized that the responsibility for execution lies with the Lebanese army.
The last round of negotiations between the parties took place solely through military channels, with both sides awaiting the results of the Israeli elections. Another round may occur in the coming weeks, but the future progression of the process remains unclear at this time.
