A senior U.S. official said on Tuesday there was a "real opportunity" to end the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah and that gaps were narrowing, signalling progress in Washington's efforts to clinch a ceasefire agreement. Amos Hochstein spoke in Beirut following talks with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a day after the Lebanese government and Iran-backed Hezbollah agreed to a U.S. ceasefire proposal, albeit with some comments on the content. "I came back because we have a real opportunity to bring this conflict to an end," Hochstein said at a press conference after the meeting.
