US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller has told reporters that the US, "has ongoing conversations with Israel about what a diplomatic resolution in Lebanon can and should look like."

  • Miller noted that the US, "supports Israel's right to go after legitimate Hezbollah targets in Lebanon," but stressed that, "it's critical that Israel does so in a way that doesn't threaten the lives of civilians, and significant cultural heritage sites are protected."
  • Miller adds that the Israeli military has made, "significant progress in striking Hezbollah sites along the border and clearing out its infrastructure," and notes that the conflict should be resolved, "through a diplomatic resolution well short of a prolonged campaign like in Gaza."
  • The comments come after Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem today appeared to open to ceasefire talks with Israel. See: MIDEAST: Hezbollah Chief Leaves Door To Israel Ceasefire Ajar
