Israel Warns That Time for Diplomacy With Lebanon Is ‘Running Out’

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The threat of a wider war has preoccupied the United States and its allies since the start of the conflict in Gaza, and has only grown as three Iranian-backed groups — Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis in Yemen — launch attacks toward Israel as well as on commercial ships in the Red Sea.
The concern prompted the United States to dispatch two aircraft carriers to the Eastern Mediterranean in the weeks after the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attacks on Israel that sparked the war in Gaza.
On Wednesday, a cortège of mourners accompanied his body through the Iraqi cities of Najaf and Karbala, and a representative of the Revolutionary Guard, Ramezan Sharif, again threatened retaliation against Israel, The Associated Press reported.
Earlier this week, General Halevi said that the military was “close to completing” the dismantling of Hamas battalions in northern Gaza, but that given the dense urban environment, “it cannot be said that we killed them all.”
Since the start of the conflict, both Israel and Hamas have made hard-line statements in public even as talks have continued in private, often through the Qatari government, which brokered a November truce that opened the door to a hostage-for-prisoner exchange and more humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
The Egyptian government has circulated a proposal calling for further exchanges of hostages and prisoners as a step toward a permanent cease-fire, according to three diplomats in the region who insisted on anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks.
