An unnamed US official tells the Axios news site that Beirut and the international community are unlikely to accept Israel’s proposal for a ceasefire in Lebanon.
The report says the proposal would “dramatically undermine Lebanon’s sovereignty.”
Israel’s demands include being able to actively enforce the disarming of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and to maintain unfettered access to Lebanese airspace.
The White House and Israeli embassy in Washington refused to comment on the report.
