Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri tells Asharq Al-Awsat that “the situation is good in principle,” after meeting with US special envoy Amos Hochstein in Beirut to discuss a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
“Some details” still have to be finalized, Berri says, before the next stage, which includes Hochstein’s likely visit to Israel.
“We are waiting for what he will bring from there,” says Berri.
The speaker says that Hochstein told him that the US had coordinated with the Israelis about the proposal.
