Israeli sources familiar with the matter say that they are very optimistic that Israel can reach a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah within two weeks, and perhaps even one, according to Amichai Stein of Kann News.
Stein said that the United States shares this optimism, and although the threat of a Hezbollah strike from Iran, Iraq, or other possible locations looms over the country, Stein said the sources do not believe the continued exchanges of blows between Israel and Iran will affect negotiations in the north.
Stein did not say what the hoped-for final agreement between Israel and Hezbollah would look like, although Prime Minister Netanyahu did lay down his "red lines" as to any such agreement today (Sunday): full withdrawal of Hezbollah beyond the Litani, and IDF prevention of Hezbollah rearmament and retaliation in the event of any attack against Israel or Israeli forces.
