US Hands Truce Proposal to Lebanon As Another IDF Officer Is Killed, Israel Denies "Gift" For Trump

US ambassador to Lebanon submitted a draft truce proposal to Lebanon's speaker of parliament on Nov. 14, Reuters reported. The move is as part of an intense push to end the IDF-Hezbollah war, Reuters report added citing political sources.
The report said that there is agreement on certain elements of a deal, but also sharp disagreements over Israel’s security demand. Israel is demanding that IDF should retain the ability to strike at Hezbollah if necessary to prevent it from rearming. Lebanese officials say that "direct enforcement" by Israel has not been formally floated to Lebanon. "The idea that Israel can enforce at any time - that is unthinkable," one of the political sources told Reuters.
The written proposal was the first one Washington has submitted in several weeks, senior Lebanese political sources said. The draft was submitted following weeks of talks that included officials from France, the US , and Israel.
