US envoy Amos Hochstein, tasked with Israel-Hezbollah affairs, arrived in Beirut to push for a cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel. The US has proposed a plan to end the ongoing conflict, with Hochstein meeting Lebanon’s PM Mikati and Parliament Speaker Berri, who acts as a mediator between the West and Hezbollah, a group considered a terrorist organization by the US and many other nations.
