The Israeli government is trying to delay negotiations with Lebanon due to concerns about the impact on the upcoming legislative election, Al-Jazeera reported on Friday. According to a Lebanese source familiar with the matter, Israel is also trying to "buy time" by stalling the implementation of the so-called pilot zones in southern Lebanon. The source said Israeli claims that the pilot zones for military units in southern Lebanon had failed were a “delaying tactic.” “We tried to spare the Ali al-Taher heights from the battle, but our efforts were unsuccessful,” the source said.
The government had also sent messages to Hezbollah seeking consultations, saying the group could be useful in state-led negotiations, but had received no response. Israel's next legislative election will be held on October 27. Here we are to serve you with news right now.
