Israel reports Lebanon ceasefire progress but Hezbollah unaware of offer

Hezbollah said it had not received any ceasefire proposals despite Israel’s newly appointed foreign minister Gideon Saar saying "certain progress" had been made, according to Al Jazeera.

“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.

Saar earlier said Israel was “working with the Americans on the issue” and was ready for a settlement if Hezbollah agreed to retreat beyond the Litani River.
