Hochstein expected in Beirut for talks with ceasefire oversight committee — report

Lebanese media outlet Al-Akhbar reports that US special envoy Amos Hochstein, who oversaw the negotiations for a ceasefire between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group, will visit Beirut in the coming days for talks with the oversight body responsible for overseeing the implementation of the agreement.

According to the report, the body has not yet begun work, and a Lebanese government source tells the outlet that “nobody understands the reason” for the delay.

When meeting with Hochstein, the news outlet says government officials will ask him to pressure Israel into easing off its strikes in southern Lebanon, which it says come in response to Hezbollah truce violations, and expedite the withdrawal of Israeli troops so that displaced civilians can return home.
