Amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, Lebanon and Israel are inching closer to a ceasefire agreement. Israel's security cabinet is actively discussing the terms of a truce with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, where recent ground offensives have heightened concerns in the region.
Energy Minister Eli Cohen announced on Wednesday that talks are progressing, signaling a potential de-escalation of hostilities. Meanwhile, Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati expressed optimism that a ceasefire deal with Israel could be announced within the coming hours or days.
Adding to the diplomatic efforts, United States envoy Amos Hochstein is en route to Tel Aviv to participate in discussions, aiming to facilitate a sustainable peace agreement between the two nations.
