The U.S., France and other allies jointly called Wednesday for an “immediate” 21-day cease-fire to allow for negotiations in the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has killed more than 600 people in Lebanon in recent days.
The joint statement, negotiated on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, says the recent fighting is “intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation.”
“We call for an immediate 21-day cease-fire across the Lebanon-Israel border to provide space for diplomacy,” the statement said. “We call on all parties, including the governments of Israel and Lebanon, to endorse the temporary cease-fire immediately.”
I just read that the US blocked this. https://lemmy.world/post/20190872
Now I’m confused.
that information is old, things change as parties negotiate.
USA just promotes incoherent propaganda and then continues to support genocide.
no, that article is just old. Even the guardian posted a later article that contradicted their earlier one.
