US Secretary of State Marco Rubio engaged in discussions with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. The US has proposed a plan for a gradual de-escalation of hostilities, which includes a commitment from Hezbollah to stop all attacks on Israel and a corresponding restraint from Israel in its military operations in Beirut. This initiative aims to create conditions for a phased reduction in violence and ultimately a cessation of hostilities. However, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has stated that while he can ensure Hezbollah's compliance with a ceasefire, Israel must first halt its attacks. The diplomatic efforts come as fighting has reignited along the Israel-Lebanon border, with Netanyahu ordering Israeli forces to advance further into Lebanon, despite a ceasefire that had been in place for over six weeks. Recent military actions have led to the capture of significant locations in southern Lebanon and prompted school closures in northern Israel due to heightened security concerns. The US official emphasized that Israel is unlikely to tolerate continued assaults on its civilians from Hezbollah.
