Part 2/5:
Amos Hawkin’s visit includes discussions with multiple Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister counterparts. Previous meetings in Beirut with Lebanese officials and Hezbollah representatives have yielded some progress in negotiations. However, outstanding issues remain, primarily concerning the mechanisms for supervising a potential ceasefire.

This insistence complicates the negotiations but highlights the intense security concerns present in the Israeli narrative.
