A senior Israeli official tells the Ynet news site that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah can stop a descent to all-out war if he accepts an American proposal.
“The one who can stop the escalation is Nasrallah if he announces that he is willing to accept the US framework,” the official says. “If not, we are willing to go all the way.”
The US has been pushing for a diplomatic solution to restore calm to the Israel-Lebanon border, and special envoy Amos Hochstein was in Israel for talks on Monday.
Hezbollah began launching near-daily attacks on the north on October 8 in a show of support for the Hamas terror group following its October 7 massacre in southern Israel, but claims it is not interested in war and that it will stop firing once the war in Gaza ends.
