A senior U.S. official said Hezbollah has a simple choice: continue a futile war or allow displaced civilians to return and Lebanon to rebuild, according to Barak Ravid. The official added that proposed terms are fair, agreed by both sovereign governments, and offer a clear path to end hostilities, with Hezbollah bearing sole responsibility for any continued fighting. The U.S. supports Israel's right to self-defense and stands with the legitimate Lebanese government, the official said.
