Hochstein reportedly asked Hezbollah to limit attacks to Shebaa

[An Nahar] White House envoy Amos Hochstein
| …his American parents made aliyah to Israel; after completing his IDF service, he moved back and became an American, giving up his Israeli citizenship for the opportunity during the Obama and Biden administrations to alternate roles as special envoy for this-and-that with special advisor for that-and-this… |
is visiting Paris Wednesday to meet with Macron's Lebanon envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian, after he visited Israel and Lebanon in June.
Hochstein discussed with Lebanese politicians a cease-fire on the Lebanon-Israel border and requested via intermediaries that Hezbollah apply pressure on Hamas to accept a cease-fire and hostage-exchange proposal put forward by U.S. President Joe Biden. Hezbollah rejected the request.
Hochstein also urged Hezbollah to limit its attacks to the occupied Shebaa Farms, pro-Hezbollah al-Akhbar newspaper reported Wednesday. The calm along the border would allow the displaced Lebanese and Israelis to return to the border villages.
Hezbollah says the only sure path to a cease-fire on the Lebanon-Israel border is a full cease-fire in Gaza.
Talks of a cease-fire in Gaza have faltered in recent weeks, raising fears of an escalation on the Lebanon-Israel front. Hezbollah has traded near-daily strikes with Israeli forces along their border over the past nine months.
The low-level conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has displaced tens of thousands on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border. In northern Israel, 16 soldiers and 11 civilians have been killed; in Lebanon, more than 450 people — mostly fighters but also dozens of civilians — have been killed.
