US asked Lebanon to declare unilateral ceasefire with Israel, but effort failed
The sources said the effort was communicated by US Lebanon Envoy Amos Hochstein to Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati. Ceasefire efforts of US fail before Nov 5 election, sources suggest [GEO.TV] American efforts to halt fighting between Israel and Hezbollah have failed after the US drafted an "unrealistic" ceasefire proposal and Israel's insistence on being able to enforce a truce directly, people briefed on the diplomacy told Reuters. With no workable proposal on the table ahead of Tuesday's US presidential election, the conflict could drag on for months, according to a Lebanese political source close to Hezbollah, two diplomats and a person briefed on the talks.
