ISRAEL: US Envoy Holds 2nd Day Of Talks In Beirut Ahead Of Netanyahu Meeting

ISRAEL
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletEnergy BulletsBulletEmerging Market NewsMiddle East

Senior US envoy Amos Hochstein is set to engage in a second day of talks with Lebanese officials in Beirut in an effort to reach an agreement on a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Hamas amid major airstrikes against targets across Lebanon. As NYT notes, Hochstein has rarely made two-day trips to Middle Eastern cities meaning that his overnight stay in Beirut could be an indicator that a draft ceasefire is honing into view. Indeed, a post from Axios' Barak Ravid could hint at progress, claiming that "A senior Israeli official said that the American envoy Amos Hochstein will arrive in Israel tonight from Lebanon. He will meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu tomorrow to discuss the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon."

  • As AFP reports, on 19 Nov "Hochstein said an end to the war was "now within our grasp", while one of his main interlocutors, Hezbollah-allied parliament speaker Nabih Berri, said the situation was "good, in principle"."
  • Speaking in the Knesset on Tuesday, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said "We will be forced to ensure our security in the north (of Israel) and to systematically carry out operations against Hezbollah's attacks... even after a ceasefire" in an effort to stop the group re-arming.
  • The Netanyahu gov't may be inclined to wait for the incoming Trump administration in the US. Trump's Cabinet nominees seen as strongly pro-Israel, and Netanyahu may hope for the US to push for more concessions or stricter conditions on Hezbollah in any ceasefire talks post-inauguration.
