U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Sunday that both Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah should respond to a proposed UN Security Council resolution and halt fighting.

"There are things the Israelis wanted and things the Lebanese wanted, and everybody was not going to get everything that they wanted," Rice said at a briefing in Crawford, Texas, where she met with U.S. President George W. Bush at his ranch, according to U.S. media reports.

The fighting between Israel and the Lebanese Hezbollah should stop now, Rice said, calling on the 15-nation UN Security Council to support the draft UN Security Council resolution on Lebanon proposed by the United States and France.

President Bush has expressed satisfaction over the UN Security Council draft resolution submitted to the UN Security Council by the United States and France on Saturday.

The United States has hoped that the UN Security Council can pass a resolution calling for a cease-fire and deploying a multinational force in southern Lebanon this weekend or early next week.
