US calls for 21 day ceasefire
Amid rising tensions between Israel and Lebanon, the United States has called for a 21-day ceasefire along the Israel-Lebanon border to prevent further escalation and allow diplomacy a chance to take hold, both there and in Gaza.
The Pentagon, in a press release, announced that US Secretary of Defence Lloyd J. Austin III, British Defence Secretary John Healey, and Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles voiced their support for the plan during their meeting in London on Thursday at the AUKUS defense ministerial talks.
The situation in Lebanon and northern Israel is deeply troubling. Lebanese Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, began firing rockets into Israel in an unprovoked attack the day after the October 7, 2023, terrorist assault by Hamas, Austin said. “Hezbollah has not stopped since. Like any other state, Israel has a right to defend itself. And almost a year later, tens of thousands of Israeli and Lebanese civilians still cannot safely return home, and we now face the risk of an all-out war, another full-scale war, which could be devastating for both Israel and Lebanon, he added.
