Reuters reports: “A senior U.S. official said on Tuesday there was a ‘real opportunity’ to end the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah and that gaps were narrowing, signalling progress in Washington’s efforts to clinch a ceasefire agreement.
Amos Hochstein spoke in Beirut following talks with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a day after the Lebanese government and Iran-backed Hezbollah agreed to a U.S. ceasefire proposal, albeit with some comments on the content.
‘I came back because we have a real opportunity to bring this conflict to an end,’ Hochstein said at a press conference after the meeting.
‘This is a moment of decision-making. I am here in Beirut to facilitate that decision but it’s ultimately the decision of the parties to reach a conclusion to this conflict,’ he added.
‘It is now within our grasp… As the window is now, I hope the coming days yield a resolute decision,’ he said…”
