The US ambassador to Lebanon submitted a draft truce proposal to Lebanon’s speaker of parliament Nabih Berri yesterday to halt fighting between armed group Hezbollah and Israel, two political sources told Reuters, without revealing details.
The US has sought to broker a ceasefire that would end hostilities between its ally Israel and Iran-backed Hizbollah, but efforts have yet to yield a result.
US ambassador Lisa Johnson met with Berri, a Hizbollah ally and the typical conduit for diplomacy with the group, yesterday to submit Washington’s first written proposal in at least several weeks, two senior Lebanese political sources said.
“It is a draft to get observations from the Lebanese side,” one of the sources told Reuters. Neither source could provide details on the contents of the proposal.
