Negotiations for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah are intensifying as officials in Lebanon study a new US-Israeli proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict. Despite cautious optimism, significant obstacles remain, with Israeli forces pushing deeper into Lebanon. Recent reports indicate that Israel is seeking freedom to strike Hezbollah even if a ceasefire is established. The US has provided Lebanon with a draft truce proposal, while Israeli officials express that no ceasefire will occur until military objectives are met. Amidst these discussions, some Israeli ministers report progress, but Hezbollah claims no official ceasefire proposal has been received. Tensions continue to rise as Israel prepares further military actions, with external pressures complicating the situation.
