There is a shot of ceasefire in Lebanon soon, Biden envoy says
President Biden's senior adviser Amos Hochstein said he believes 'there is a shot' of securing a ceasefire deal in Lebanon soon, telling Axios: 'I am hopeful we can get it.'
A ceasefire deal would stop more than a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and significantly de-escalate the regional war for the first time since Oct. 7.
A ceasefire in Lebanon before Jan. 20 would also serve President-elect Trump's interests and take one Middle East crisis off his plate.
U.S. officials said Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu indicated to the Biden administration that he wants to end the war in Lebanon within weeks.
