As of last night, no final decision had been made on US special envoy Amos Hochstein coming to the region, a diplomatic official tells The Times of Israel.
The decision will be made based on progress in negotiations over a ceasefire in Lebanon, says the official.
The comments come amid reports in Lebanon that Hochstein was due in Beirut on Tuesday amid progress in the efforts.
