以色列和真主党交换了数百次越境袭击无线设备的惊人爆炸上周穿越黎巴嫩。
据一名美国官员称,美国目前正在与以色列和其他国家“积极讨论”,以确保以色列和真主党之间的停火。
两名官员告诉美国广播公司新闻(ABC News),拜登政府已经提出了至少一项旨在暂时停止冲突的提案草案,但以色列已经表示,它打算推进作战计划,旨在通过消灭真主党来结束其北部边境数月来针锋相对的交火。
谈判仍在进行,但此时官员们表示,他们越来越接受中东第二战场的全面战争。
官员们说,美国对真主党也没有什么影响力,因此不清楚该组织是否会遵守任何此类停火协议。
Israel-Gaza-Lebanon live updates: US working to secure Israel, Hezbollah cease-fire
Israel and Hezbollah are exchanging hundreds of cross-border strikes in the wake of theshocking explosions of wireless devicesacross Lebanon last week.
The U.S. is currently "in active discussions" with Israel and other countries to try to secure a cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah, according to a U.S. official.
The Biden administration has floated at least one draft proposal aimed at temporarily halting the conflict, but Israel has signaled it intends to move forward with battle plans aimed at ending months of tit-for-tat exchanges with Hezbollah across its northern border by decimating the militant group, two officials told ABC News.
Negotiations are still ongoing, but at this hour officials said they are growing increasingly resigned to full-blown warfare on a second front in the Middle East.
The U.S. also has little leverage over Hezbollah, so it’s unclear whether the group would abide by any such agreement to pause the fighting, officials said.
