Resolution would send 15,000 U.N. troops to Lebanon
The United States and France urged the U.N. Security Council to back a draft cease-fire plan. It calls for an immediate end to hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah and authorizes a U.N. force up to 15,000 to assist Lebanese troops in southern Lebanon as Israel reduces its ground operations. The draft seeks a lasting political solution and a buffer zone under Lebanese government and UNIFIL control.
