US Special Envoy to Lebanon Amos Hochstein said from Beirut on Monday that merely talking about Lebanon and Israel's commitment to UN Resolution 1701 is not enough.

He added that the United States is working on a formula to end the conflict once and for all. He said: "There is a lack of implementation of Resolution 1701 that has contributed to igniting the conflict we are suffering from today."

He explained that "the world will support Lebanon and its leadership if they take courageous decisions that are in the interest of the Lebanese people."
