Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer met with U.S. President Joe Biden's special envoy for the Middle East Amos Hochstein and US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Hochstein said: "We are full of hope that we can reach the series in the north, and there is now a chance of that." He added that there is no certainty that he will go to Beirut in the coming days, and that there is no Russian involvement in the attempts to reach an agreement.
