Lebanon has submitted its response to a US ceasefire proposal to the American embassy in Beirut, Lebanon’s LBC network reports, saying that the response was “positive.”
Last week, the US ambassador to Lebanon handed a draft for a proposed truce in Lebanon to the country’s speaker of parliament, Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah ally and the typical conduit for diplomacy with the group.
The LBC report says that Lebanon is now waiting for US special envoy for Lebanon Amos Hochstein to arrive in the region to finalize the details.
The report said Hochstein would be in Lebanon on Tuesday.
