tel aviv - Negotiations between Israel and Hezbollah for a ceasefire agreement continue, with both sides still facing uncertainty and disagreements. Get the full story on telegraaf.nl.
Despite reaching agreements on many issues, the focus now shifts to Israel's demand to be allowed to take military action if the agreement is violated. High Israeli officials believe that if a solution is found, a ceasefire could be in place within a week.
Special envoy Hochstein has been working for months to reach an agreement, and his recent optimism following talks in Beirut signals progress. Hezbollah claims to agree with the American proposal, putting the ball in Israel's court.
While Israel still has doubts, both parties have come closer to aligning with the main points of the 2006 UN resolution (1701) that ended the war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Hezbollah continues to fire rockets at Israel, with Israel conducting airstrikes on Beirut recently. Despite the ongoing conflict, both sides are hopeful for a ceasefire agreement.
