The Lebanese government has largely endorsed a US truce proposal to end the Israel-Hezbollah war, and was preparing final comments before sending a response to Washington, a Lebanese official tells AFP.
A government official who has been following the talks closely says that “we have made a lot of progress. Lebanon has a very positive view on this proposal.”
“We are finalizing our last remarks about the US wording of the draft,” the official adds.
Another government official tells AFP that Beirut was “waiting for US special envoy Amos Hochstein to arrive so we can review certain outstanding points with him.”
Both sources, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, say Hochstein was expected in Beirut this week.
They also say Israel has not yet responded to the truce plan.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
