US Envoy in Beirut for Ceasefire Talks Amid Positive Signals
TL;DR Summary
Lebanon has responded positively to a US proposal for a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, though it has not formally accepted the offer. US special envoy Amos Hochstein is set to visit Lebanon to discuss the proposal, which aims to build on UN Security Resolution 1701. This resolution, which ended the Second Lebanon War, prohibits armed non-state actors like Hezbollah from operating in Southern Lebanon. The US and Israel seek an enforcement mechanism to ensure compliance, while Lebanon and Hezbollah oppose granting Israel the right to strike Hezbollah targets.
