US envoy Amos Hochstein is currently in Beirut engaging in discussions with Nabih Berri, the influential leader of the Shiite Amal party, which is closely aligned with the militant group Hezbollah. Berri, a key player in the negotiations for a potential ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, has been in dialogue with Hochstein on multiple occasions over the past year.
Hochstein, who serves as the primary representative for US President Joe Biden in the talks between Israel and Hezbollah, has been actively involved in efforts to de-escalate the conflict. Despite his involvement, the conflict has continued to intensify, with a resolution remaining elusive.
