Israel and the United States are discussing the possibility of a short ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israeli officials said, even as fighting continued on April 15 and Israeli leaders prepared to review the next phase of the campaign.

Senior officials in Jerusalem told Epoch Magazine Israel that the option under consideration is a ceasefire lasting about one week, potentially aligning with the current pause in fighting between Iran and Israel and the United States. They stressed that no decision has been made.
