The United States has proposed a plan to allow for a "gradual de-escalation" of the conflict between Israel and Lebanon, according to a US official. The plan, which was discussed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio with both Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, aims to create space for an effective cessation of hostilities. As a first step, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group would be required to stop all attacks on Israel, and in return, Israel would refrain from escalation in Beirut. This proposal is seen as a crucial step towards reducing tensions in the region, which have been escalating in recent weeks.
