Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant warns of ‘running out’ to end the Lebanon war with Hezbollah.

• Hezbollah, backed by Iran, has been engaging in regular cross-border fire with Israeli forces since Hamas’s October 7 attack in Gaza.
• Gallant stated that the possibility of an agreed framework in the northern arena is running out as Hezbollah continues to tie itself to Hamas.
• Despite talks mediated by the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt, no progress has been made in diplomacy to halt the fighting.
• Hezbollah officials have stated they would stand down if a Gaza ceasefire is reached, while Israel insists on preventing militants from remaining in Lebanon’s south border area.
