US official says Lebanon-Israel talks to resume Tuesday

The Lebanese-Israeli discussions will resume tomorrow at 9:00 am, a U.S. official said on Monday.

"The Lebanese-Israeli discussions are continuing and we're continuing to facilitate them," the official told the Al-Arabiya television.

Parliament Speaker and Hezbollah ally Nabih Berri said early Monday that a trilateral framework agreement between Lebanon, Israel and the United States agreed on Friday would not pass as it did not guarantee Lebanon's rights.

"This agreement will not pass, and it will not be implemented in its current form," Berri said in a statement shared by his Amal Movement, adding that it was "an agreement of 'dictates', not an agreement that preserves Lebanon's rights."

The deal potentially paves the way for Lebanese-Israeli peace and conditions Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon on Hezbollah's disarmament.
