The United States, France and several Arab and European countries have called for an immediate 21-day ceasefire across the Israel-Lebanon border following intense discussions at the United Nations.
The pause in hostilities would apply to the Blue Line, the demarcation line between Lebanon and Israel, and would allow the warring parties to negotiate towards a potential diplomatic resolution of the conflict, according to Al Jazeera’s Rosiland Jordan, reporting from Washington, DC, quoting US officials who briefed reporters late on Wednesday.
