From Report: Israel, US in talks for temporary holding of fire to enable Lebanon ceasefire negotiations
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given a “green light” to talks with the US over a potential temporary halt in the stepped-up conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon, which would enable negotiations for a ceasefire, according to an unsourced report by the Ynet news site.
The report says Netanyahu and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer are holding the talks with Washington, which is holding talks with Lebanon’s government and other official acting as intermediaries with Hezbollah.
Iran is said to be involved in the talks, preferring to avoid an all-out war.
“We are nearing a fork in the road for decisions on where the war is going,” an unnamed Israeli official is quoted as saying.
