US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday that "effective implementation" of UN resolution 1701, first established in 2006 to place peacekeepers along a border buffer zone, is "possible" between Israel and Lebanon. He added that the increased exchange of fire over the past few days underscores the urgency of that implementation and the ceasefire the resolution is intended to uphold.
On Gaza, Blinken told reporters he is prepared to work with President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration over the next two months towards a ceasefire deal.
