"Resolution 1701 has been a complete failure, but reviving it may be the only way out of Israel's widening war to its north," stated U.S. officials recently.
"The outcome that we want to see is the full implementation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701," said State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller, emphasizing the need for Hezbollah withdrawal.
The U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1701 in August 2006 to cease hostilities and sought to create a buffer zone free from armed personnel.
U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, are concertedly working with Arab leaders to discuss how to diminish Hezbollah's influence in Lebanon.
