“We do not believe that escalating this military conflict is in their interest, and that is what we are saying directly to our Israeli counterparts,” Kirby told ABC.
He considered that there is still room for a diplomatic solution to the conflict, adding that this is what we are working on without providing further details.
Tensions have escalated in recent days with dozens killed and thousands wounded in Lebanon Due to a series of explosions of communication devices used by Hezbollah Tuesday and Wednesday and attributed to Israel.
Saturday night also witnessed heavy shelling across the Lebanese-Israeli border.
Kirby continued that this escalation: “is certainly not in the interest of all of these people that the prime minister (Benjamin) says.” Netanyahu He wants to bring them home.”
The Israeli authorities pledged to restore calm on the northern front so that residents fleeing the fighting could return to their homes.
