The American envoy to Lebanon, Amos Hochstein, told reporters at the White House that there might be "a shot" at getting a ceasefire in Lebanon in the coming weeks, according to the American news website, Axios. "I am hopeful we can get it," Hochstein was quoted as saying.

Axios revealed that Ron Dermer, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s confidant, who is currently in the US, met with President Donald Trump on Sunday and will hold meetings with the Biden administration to discuss ongoing efforts for a ceasefire in Lebanon.

These talks seem to be motivated allegedly by Netanyahu’s wish to end the war in Lebanon within weeks.

Tel Aviv and Washington are still discussing the terms of an agreement for a ceasefire, according to US officials quoted by Axios, but no agreement seems to have been reached yet.
