Hochstein met Lebanese officials this week after Hezbollah indicated it had agreed to the text of a US ceasefire proposal, although with some comments. He said on Tuesday that the gaps between Hezbollah and Israel had "narrowed", raising optimism about a deal between the two parties.
Hochstein will meet Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, today.
Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah started on 8 October last year after Hezbollah launched rockets at northern Israel "in solidarity" with Hamas's attack the day before. The two sides engaged in low-grade, tit-for-tat fighting until late September, when Israel launched an intense aerial campaign across Lebanon and a ground incursion in the south. Since then, almost all of Hezbollah's senior leadership has been killed and the group has faced continual losses on and off the battlefield.
