US Mediates Potential Ceasefire Between Israel and Hezbollah

Negotiations continue as both sides consider a US proposal for a 60-day halt in hostilities.

The US has proposed a ceasefire plan for Israel and Hezbollah, calling for a 60-day suspension of attacks and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon.
Lebanon and Hezbollah have acknowledged the US proposal as a basis for further negotiations, although certain terms remain contentious.
Key issues include the explicit mention of self-defense rights in the agreement and the composition of a monitoring committee, involving Germany and the UK.
Humanitarian concerns persist in the Gaza Strip, with the G20 urging Israel to increase aid delivery following the looting of a major UN convoy.
Ongoing violence continues to affect civilians, with Israeli airstrikes in Beirut and Hezbollah rocket attacks on northern Israel resulting in casualties.
