Diplomatic sources say Washington seeks talks for the sake of talks

Diplomatic sources say Washington's announcement of fruitful results in the Rome negotiating round does not match reality, as no progress was made on the main issues. They add that the U.S. characterization is consistent with Israeli leaks about declining American interest in the Lebanese file, reflecting a lack of serious pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu, and that what the United States now wants is talks for the sake of talks as the desired achievement at this stage.
