US source: Lebanon, Israel deadlocked over Hezbollah disarmament monitoring

Talks between Lebanese and Israeli delegations in Florida concluded without a breakthrough on security arrangements in southern Lebanon, amid a dispute over who will monitor the disarmament of Hezbollah. Israel insists on participating in the monitoring process, while Beirut rejects this and demands an independent international mechanism to verify the removal of weapons, according to a US source cited by Al Hadath.

The source said the US held consultations with both delegations in an effort to resolve the disagreements, but the meetings failed to produce an agreement on which countries would oversee the implementation of security arrangements in southern Lebanon.
