The Quartet Committee emphasized the “need to work for the implementation of the Biden plan, which calls for a ceasefire and the return of peace to the region through negotiations,” according to a report by the local channel MTV.
The international committee highlighted that “the stability of Lebanon is paramount” and pledged to continue their efforts to implement Resolution 1701.
In a statement issued on Friday, the group urged all parties “to exercise restraint, reduce tensions along the Blue Line, and avoid any escalation in the region.”
The committee also reaffirmed its commitment to a “two-state solution,” one that “meets the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinians and the Israelis, and brings peace and security” to the Middle East.
On the same day, US President Joe Biden discussed a three-stage plan, presented as an Israeli initiative, aimed at ending the war, freeing all hostages, and launching the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, nearly eight months after the onset of the war between Hamas and the Israeli army. A proposal deemed incomplete by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
