U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein will visit Beirut on Tuesday and Israel on Wednesday as part of his efforts to push the ceasefire deal forward and amid reported progress in the negotiations, media reports said.

Israel is "expecting major progres in the ceasefire negotiations with Lebanon next week, during Hochstein's visit," Israeli state media quoted sources as saying.

Lebanon is meanwhile expected to deliver its response to Hochstein's latest ceasefire proposal in the coming hours.
