US Envoy Focuses on Israel-Hezbollah Truce During Lebanon Visit

TL;DR Summary
A U.S. envoy expressed optimism about a potential truce between Israel and Hezbollah, following positive talks in Lebanon. The proposed agreement involves both parties withdrawing from a U.N. buffer zone in southern Lebanon, to be monitored by U.N. peacekeepers and Lebanese troops. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens, with nearly 100 aid trucks looted, exacerbating food shortages. The U.N. reports severe impediments to aid deliveries due to Israeli military restrictions, while Israel claims it is facilitating aid entry. The situation remains dire, with accusations of theft and inadequate aid levels.
