The official said the agenda would include "resolving all outstanding border issues." among other things.
"The experience of the initial zones will help us perfect pilot-zone implementation so it can expand in a phased manner," the official added. Despite the
framework agreement, Lebanon has reported intermittent Israeli strikes and artillery shelling on the south of the country in recent days.
