Israeli Foreign Minister says progress made on Lebanon ceasefire
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has said there has been “certain progress” on a ceasefire in Lebanon, as Israel was “working with the Americans on the issue”.
Saar told reporters in Jerusalem that Israel was ready for a settlement if Hezbollah agreed to move away from the border and retreat beyond the Litani River, as per UN resolution 1701. He added that the army was continuing to work to dismantle Hezbollah’s infrastructure in southern Lebanon, which made the group unable to carry out its plans against Israel.
Hezbollah earlier said Israel was unsuccessful in its ground operation in Lebanon and that claims of a significant decline in Hezbollah’s missile stockpile are “just lies”.

Hezbollah says it has not received any ceasefire proposals
Hezbollah says it has not received any proposals for a ceasefire despite Israel’s Foreign Minister saying there has been some “progress” made.
“So far, according to my information, nothing official has reached Lebanon or us in this regard,” the head of Hezbollah’s media office, Mohammad Afif, said at a news conference in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
“I believe that we are still in the phase of testing the waters and presenting initial ideas and proactive discussions, but so far there is nothing actual yet,” he added.
We reported earlier that Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said progress had been made in Lebanon’s ceasefire talks but that enforcement remained crucial.
Israeli media reported on Sunday that substantial progress has been made in diplomatic negotiations over a proposed Lebanon ceasefire that would require Hezbollah to withdraw north of the Litani River. The reports said Hezbollah would end its military presence near the Israeli border, while the Israeli military would return to the international border.
