Macron calls on US to increase pressure on Israel to back Lebanon ceasefire proposal

French President Emmanuel Macron calls on the United States to pressure Israel to accept a 21-day ceasefire proposal with Hezbollah in Lebanon, warning that an Israeli invasion would be a huge mistake. Israeli officials have rejected the proposal, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordering the military to continue fighting. Macron urges the US to increase pressure on Netanyahu to commit to the plan and threatens to raise the matter at the United Nations Security Council if Israel refuses. The ceasefire proposal aims to de-escalate the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, which has been ongoing since Hezbollah began attacking Israeli communities and military positions.
