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 U.N. 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.»
There was no immediate reaction from the Israeli or Lebanese governments — or Hezbollah — but senior U.S. officials said all parties were aware of the call for a cease-fire. Earlier, representatives for Israel and Lebanon reiterated their support for a U.N. resolution that ended the 2006 war between Israel and the Iranian-backed militant group.
