The US has put forward a proposal aimed at de-escalating hostilities in Lebanon, a US official told Al Jazeera, adding that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has held separate talks with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Under the “roadmap”, Hezbollah would halt all attacks on Israel in exchange for Israel refraining from further escalation in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, the official said.
The US proposal aims to create a conducive environment for a gradual de-escalation and a complete and comprehensive cessation of all hostilities, the official added.
