The U.S., France and other allies jointly called Wednesday for an “immediate” 21-day cease-fire to allow for negotiations in the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has killed more than 600 people in Lebanon in recent days.
The joint statement, negotiated on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, says the recent fighting is “intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation.”
“We call for an immediate 21-day cease-fire across the Lebanon-Israel border to provide space for diplomacy,” the statement said. “We call on all parties, including the governments of Israel and Lebanon, to endorse the temporary cease-fire immediately.”

Exactly. The US calls for a ceasefire, and then this happens,
I guess the best I can hope for is that when the pendulum finally stops oscillating, it finally lands on the side of good.
I just read that the US blocked this. https://lemmy.world/post/20190872
Now I'm confused.
USA just promotes incoherent propaganda and then continues to support genocide.
no, that article is just old. Even the guardian posted a later article that contradicted their earlier one.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/26/lebanon-temporary-ceasefire-plan-hezbollah-israel
that information is old, things change as parties negotiate.
If the UNSC says they have to stop, Israel has to stop.
If the UNSC says they have to stop, Hezbollah will not stop.
US will block it even though they want it, since they know that a forced ceasefire just means Israel gets attacked for 21 days unchecked.
Took like two seconds to find an example of Israel not stopping one of their genocides when the UNSC told them to stop...
This ain't halo bruh, no one listens to the UNSC, let alone the UN.
Some next level mental gymnastics in this comment.
USA should've put on this show before supporting genocide in palestine and terrorist attacks against Lebanon.
It genuinely feels like my country is supporting the next Nazi-like regime through all of this... Israel's complete disregard for civilian life is disgusting, and reprehensible.
You cannot kill indescriminately in the name of protecting human life. This is a hard moral boundary that transcends cultures, and exists within the highest and lowest eschilons of humanity.
Even gangs and mobs don't tend to go around unapologetically maiming and murdering children. It takes monsters do to this. Monsters are real, and one is currently leading Israel.
