US Denies Request for Ceasefire from Lebanon

Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati's office denied reports claiming that the United States requested Beirut to unilaterally declare a ceasefire.

"I want to emphasize that there was no such request from the United States. There are attempts by certain individuals and groups to lead Lebanon into crisis or spread rumors about this matter, it is not worth paying attention to," - said a source from Mikati's cabinet.
