US and Allies Call for 21-Day Ceasefire Across Lebanon-Israel Border
In a move aimed at reducing tensions and preventing further escalation, the United States and its allies have called for a 21-day ceasefire across the Lebanon-Israel border.
The call for a ceasefire comes as the situation on the border has been escalating in recent days, with both sides exchanging fire and reports of casualties on both sides.
The US State Department, in a statement, said that the ceasefire is necessary to prevent further violence and to allow for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
"We urge both sides to immediately cease hostilities and to work towards a peaceful resolution," said a spokesperson for the State Department.
The call for a ceasefire has been supported by other countries, including France, Germany, and the UK.
The ceasefire would last for 21 days, during which time both sides would be required to stop all military activities and to work towards a peaceful resolution.
The US and its allies have also called for the release of any prisoners or detainees held by either side, and for the return of any captured military equipment.
The situation on the Lebanon-Israel border has been tense for weeks, with both sides accusing each other of violating a UN-brokered ceasefire agreement.
The agreement, which was reached in 2006, was meant to end a war between the two countries. However, it has been repeatedly violated, with both sides accusing each other of violating its terms.
The latest violence began on Wednesday, when Israeli forces launched an airstrike on a target in southern Lebanon, killing one person and injuring several others.
In response, Lebanese forces fired rockets into Israel, causing damage and injuries.
The situation has continued to escalate, with both sides exchanging fire and reports of casualties on both sides.
The US and its allies have called for restraint and for both sides to work towards a peaceful resolution.
"We urge both sides to exercise restraint and to work towards a peaceful resolution," said a spokesperson for the State Department.
The ceasefire would last for 21 days, during which time both sides would be required to stop all military activities and to work towards a peaceful resolution.
The US and its allies have also called for the release of any prisoners or detainees held by either side, and for the return of any captured military equipment.
