The US ambassador to Lebanon submitted a draft truce proposal to Lebanon’s speaker of parliament Nabih Berri today to halt fighting between Hezbollah and Israel, two political sources tell Reuters, without revealing details.

The US has sought to broker a ceasefire that would end hostilities between its ally Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, but efforts have yet to yield a result.

Earlier today, Energy Minister Eli Cohen said in an interview that Israel was closer than it had been over the past year to a deal to end hostilities in Lebanon.
