Al-Manar reveals details of US ceasefire proposals submitted to Lebanon

BEIRUT, June 02 (YPA) – U.S. ceasefire proposals submitted to Lebanon were delivered in two separate phases and included different approaches to de-escalation between Lebanon and Israeli occupation, according to a report by Al-Manar TV,

The report stated that the first proposal, conveyed by the U.S. Secretary of State, called for Hezbollah to halt its operations against settlements in northern occupied Palestine in exchange for Israeli occupation refraining from targeting Beirut’s southern suburbs.

The proposal envisioned this arrangement as a first step toward a gradual de-escalation leading to a comprehensive ceasefire, without a specified timeline.

According to the channel, the proposal was rejected by Nabih Berri and Hezbollah, who insisted on a comprehensive ceasefire that would pave the way for a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory.

Al-Manar added that subsequent diplomatic contacts and developments on the ground led to a revised U.S. proposal calling for a ceasefire covering both Beirut’s southern suburbs and northern occupied Palestine, with the aim of achieving a complete halt to military operations within 48 to 72 hours.

The report said coordination continued among Lebanese political actors in support of a comprehensive ceasefire, while contacts were maintained through official Lebanese channels, Hezbollah leadership, and communication lines involving Iran to formulate an arrangement that would ensure the occupation’s commitment to a full cessation of hostilities, facilitate withdrawal, and allow displaced residents to return.

The channel concluded by stating that reports circulating outside this framework do not accurately reflect the ongoing negotiations, according to its sources.
