Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
After optimistic reports in recent days about progress toward a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, US special envoy Amos Hochstein tells Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri that he will not be coming to Beirut tomorrow, Axios reports.
Hochstein will delay his trip until receives “more clarifications” regarding Lebanon’s positions, says Axios, citing US officials.
Earlier today, a diplomatic official told The Times of Israel that no final decision had been made regarding the trip, and that the decision would be made based on progress in the talks.
