U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein said on Tuesday that he had held "very constructive talks" with the speaker of Lebanon's parliament in Beirut and that there was a "real opportunity" to bring the conflict between the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah and Israel to an end. "This is a moment of decision-making. I am here in Beirut to facilitate that decision but it's ultimately the decision of the parties to reach a conclusion to this conflict. It is now within our grasp," he told reporters after the meeting.
