With Gaza ceasefire talks stuck and chances growing for a significant escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, US special envoy Amos Hochstein meets with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Kirya, the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
Hochstein, who is working to find a diplomatic solution to the fighting over the Israel-Lebanon border, first met with Netanyahu’s staff while the premier was in a separate meeting. Netanyahu then convened a meeting with Hochstein, US Ambassador Jack Lew, and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer.
