The US ambassador to Lebanon submitted a draft truce proposal to Lebanon’s parliament speaker Nabih Berri, who is endorsed by Hezbollah to negotiate, two senior Lebanese political sources told Reuters without providing details.
The draft was Washington’s first written proposal to halt fighting between its ally Israel and Hezbollah in at least several weeks, the sources said.
“It is a draft to get observations from the Lebanese side,” one of the sources told Reuters.
When asked about the proposal, a spokesperson for the US Embassy in Beirut said: “Efforts to reach a diplomatic deal are ongoing.”
