The United States is presenting 'concrete' ideas to ease the crisis in Lebanon and opposes an Israeli ground invasion to target Hezbollah. The US official stated that they want to find an 'off-ramp' to prevent further escalation and allow communities on both sides of the border to safely return home. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other senior US officials will be discussing these ideas during meetings at the UN General Assembly. The official emphasized the importance of reducing tensions and breaking the cycle of strike-counterstrike, disagreeing with the Israeli stance on a ground invasion.
