According to multiple sources, the Lebanese government proposed to the Trump administration that it engage in direct negotiations with Israel to end the war and reach a peace agreement, but both the U.S. and Israeli responses were rather cold and deeply skeptical. The Lebanese government is very concerned that a new round of war, triggered by Hezbollah's rocket attacks on Israel, could destroy the country. So far, the Lebanese army has not taken any substantial action against Hezbollah, which is supported by Iran. Due to the U.S. unwillingness to mediate, and Israel's determination to use this opportunity to dismantle Hezbollah, the possibility of full-scale conflict is increasing.

Human Rights Watch said there is evidence that Israel used white phosphorus munitions in residential areas in southern Lebanon earlier this month, which could have serious consequences for civilians, and this action violates international humanitarian law. "The incendiary effect of white phosphorus may cause death or serious injury, resulting in lifelong suffering."
