US wants Hezbollah-Israel fighting to stop, but won’t demand ceasefire

A senior official in the Trump administration told NBC that Washington would like Hezbollah and Israel to stop their hostilities, but the United States has not formally demanded a ceasefire. The comment follows earlier statements by President Trump expressing a desire for an end to the conflict. While U.S. officials continue to urge de‑escalation, they are stopping short of imposing any cease‑fire terms on the parties. The stance reflects a diplomatic approach aimed at reducing violence without committing to a binding halt.
