On Monday, US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held discussions regarding a potential ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. This conversation followed Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri's communication to the US, indicating Hezbollah's readiness for a full ceasefire, which was confirmed by Berri's advisor, Ali Hamdan. Hamdan stated that Hezbollah is prepared to guarantee the ceasefire's implementation. The US had previously proposed a partial ceasefire, where Hezbollah would cease attacks on northern Israel, and in return, Israel would refrain from bombing Beirut. However, this proposal has raised concerns among Israeli officials, who worry that Netanyahu may cancel planned military actions in the Dahiyeh area. An unnamed source indicated that US officials believe Netanyahu is unlikely to agree to a ceasefire, despite Hezbollah's assurance that it is ready for a total ceasefire without demanding a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. Hamdan emphasized the urgency of reaching an agreement, stating that time is running out.
