US envoy says Trump proposal offers path to end Lebanon conflict
US envoy says Trump proposal offers path to end Lebanon conflict US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz told the UN Security Council that US President Donald Trump “cares deeply about Lebanon personally” and that the US proposal for ending the conflict includes “a clear sequence to end the conflict”. Waltz said the first step is that “Hezbollah, which started the fighting, must stop its attacks in Israel”. Such a move would lead to “a gradual de-escalation” and “ultimately, a cessation of hostilities”, he said. The US ambassador expressed support for the Lebanese government, saying: “We are backing the Lebanese government’s efforts to make Lebanon great again.”
