US Push for Ceasefire Between Israel and Hezbollah Amid Ongoing Conflict
The United States is advocating for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, with mediator Amos Hochstein set to discuss a proposed US plan with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The proposal includes a 60-day suspension of attacks, during which the Israeli army would withdraw and the Lebanese army would be positioned at the border. Despite ongoing military clashes, the US believes Israel has achieved key objectives against Hezbollah. The US Senate has also overcome attempts to block certain military aid to Israel amid concerns over civilian casualties.
