US President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team was briefed on the recently brokered ceasefire deal in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah under President Joe Biden, a senior administration official said, Anadolu reports.
Amos Hochstein, Biden’s lead negotiator for the deal, conducted two briefings with Trump’s national security team to explain the agreement’s terms and the implementation of the deal, according to the official, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity.
“They (Trump team) were not involved in these negotiations, which reached their most intense point before the election,” the official said.
The official said progress in the negotiations prompted outreach to Trump’s team.
