France has been collaborating with the United States in an effort to secure a 21-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah to facilitate negotiations, as stated by the French foreign minister. The minister informed the UN Security Council on Wednesday night that specific details regarding the ceasefire would be disclosed shortly. He emphasized the importance of both parties promptly accepting the proposal to safeguard civilians and initiate diplomatic talks.
The French foreign minister expressed optimism about the possibility of a diplomatic resolution to the conflict and announced plans to travel to Beirut later in the week to engage with local stakeholders. Sources familiar with the situation revealed that American officials are working closely with their French and other international counterparts to achieve a diplomatic agreement. This agreement aims to halt the fighting along Israel's northern border while also restarting discussions on a potential ceasefire-for-hostages arrangement concerning Gaza.
