Both Israel and Lebanon have responded to proposals by the US for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict between Israel and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, as confirmed by the State Department. The aim is to achieve the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which brought an end to the Lebanon-Israel war of 2006.
The US-backed proposal seeks a 60-day cessation of hostilities, with the goal of establishing a lasting ceasefire. This initiative has been met with positive responses from both Israel and Lebanon, indicating a willingness to engage in diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict.
