Beirut, Lebanon – A US special envoy said he was in Beirut on Tuesday because he saw “a real opportunity” to end the Israel-Hezbollah war raging for two months after nearly a year of clashes.

“I came back because we have a real opportunity to bring this conflict to an end,” Amos Hochstein told reporters after meeting Hezbollah-allied parliamentary speaker Nabih Berri, who has led mediation on behalf of the group.

“I’m here in Beirut to facilitate that decision, but it’s ultimately the decision of the parties… It is now within our grasp,” he added.
