Air France resumes Riyadh and Tel Aviv flights, extends Beirut suspension

Air France announced on Monday that it has resumed flights to and from Riyadh and Tel Aviv, while extending the suspension of its services to Beirut until 20th July.

The airline did not provide further details on the decision but confirmed that flights to the Lebanese capital will remain suspended until the revised date.

In a separate development, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, said the next round of negotiations between Lebanon and Israel is scheduled to take place in Rome on 15th-16th July.

Speaking during a meeting with the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, Leiter said the talks would be held at the ambassadorial level as part of the ongoing diplomatic process between the two countries.

Meanwhile, Lebanese and Israeli media outlets published what they described as the full text of the security annex to the framework agreement signed by the United States, Israel and Lebanon in Washington on 26th June 2026.

According to the published document, the annex sets out mechanisms for implementing security and military arrangements in southern Lebanon, including procedures for verification, redeployment and monitoring.

The implementation process is scheduled to begin with the establishment of designated “pilot zones” south of the Litani River.

The document outlines a four-phase implementation plan consisting of clearing, verification, deployment and reconstruction.

According to the published text, the initial clearing phase includes legal and security measures against armed individuals not affiliated with official state institutions, as well as the removal or destruction of military infrastructure, including weapons, ammunition depots, tunnels and command centres.

The contents of the published annex have not been independently verified, and no official joint statement confirming the full text had been issued at the time of publication.
