US Secretary Rubio engaged in diplomacy between Israel and Lebanon, proposing Hezbollah cease attacks for Israeli de-escalation, though Lebanese officials have differing views on who should act first.
The US has proposed that as a first step Hezbollah will stop all attacks on Israel and in return Israel would refrain from escalation in Beirut, the official said.
The US official added that Aoun tried to advance this proposal, but Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri placed the burden on Israel to stop “shooting first.”
