Hochstein to Visit Lebanon Early Next Year
Sources told the Kuwaiti newspaper "Al-Anbaa" that U.S. President Joe Biden's envoy and international mediator, Amos Hochstein, is expected to visit Lebanon between January 6 and 8.
Hochstein is expected to depart a day before the parliamentary session scheduled by House Speaker Nabih Berri on January 9 to elect a new president.
The primary purpose of Hochstein’s visit to Beirut is to attend a meeting of the committee overseeing the ceasefire agreement, scheduled for January 8.
Hochstein will arrive with the firm belief, backed by his administration, that Israel is not adhering to even the minimal terms of the agreement. As a result, it is unlikely to withdraw from the Lebanese territories it entered prior to the November 27 ceasefire. Instead, Israel has expanded its presence, exploiting the retreat of Hezbollah fighters and continuing to erase the landmarks of border villages and towns through demolition and clearing operations.
