Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer met today at the White House with National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, along with Amos Hochstein and Brett McGurk, to discuss the potential ceasefire deal. Hochstein noted that Dermer presented Israel’s position, and now the U.S. is awaiting a response from Lebanon. He added that another trip to Beirut might not be necessary to finalize the agreement.
