Channel 12 reports that top Israeli officials and senior Biden aides made significant progress in their meetings today aimed at securing a ceasefire in Lebanon.

Israel is seeking a side letter from the US in which Washington commits to allowing Israel freedom of action to respond to any violation to the ceasefire deal by Hezbollah, the network says.
