US special envoy Amos Hochstein arrived in Lebanon for talks on a truce plan to halt the Israel-Hezbollah war. The United States and France have been leading efforts for a ceasefire in the war, which has resulted in thousands of deaths. Israel has expanded its operations from Gaza to Lebanon, aiming to secure its northern border and allow displaced people to return home. The Lebanese government has a positive view of the US truce proposal and is waiting to review outstanding points with the US envoy. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel would continue military operations against Hezbollah even if a ceasefire is reached.
