US Envoys in Middle East Push for Immediate Ceasefire Amid Continuing Violence in Lebanon and Israel
ai generated text
The situation in Lebanon is deteriorating, with Israeli attacks killing 45 people in the past 24 hours, bringing the total death toll to at least 2,200 since the conflict escalated five weeks ago. The Lebanese caretaker prime minister expresses pessimism about the prospects for a ceasefire, citing Israel's "ongoing escalation" in the country. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken reports that the negotiators have made "good progress" in talks with Israeli officials to broker a ceasefire with Hezbollah. Brett McGurk and Amos Hochstein, the US negotiators, are holding talks with Israeli authorities in Israel.
The prime minister specified that the main issue is not paperwork for this or that deal, but Israel's determination and capacity to ensure the deal's application and to prevent any threat to its security from Lebanon.
If the Israelis decide that they want to stop the aggression, we say we accept, but under the conditions that we see as appropriate and suitable.
Hamas supports a permanent end to the war, not a temporary one.
It's important to make sure we have clarity, both from Lebanon and from Israel, about what would be required under 1701 to get its effective implementation.
