Based on a State Department news release at the United Nations-

 American diplomacy can bring a ceasefire in the Middle East? 

The United States, the European Union and ten other countries have called for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. The White House is trying to speed up the proposal. President Joe Biden's administration described the announcement as "groundbreaking". 

In the late night 'Zoom briefing' in which the media was informed about this, the number of journalists present was so large that some journalists had to be turned away. Now, what Biden administration officials mean by "breakthrough" is that Washington's leadership of getting agreement on a cease-fire from key European and Arab nations in the midst of a fierce war is a major "diplomatic success."

The statement called on both Israel and Hezbollah to cease fighting through a 21-day "ceasefire" to "create a space" call does not mean that Israel and Hezbollah have already signed an agreement for mediation talks. There have also been calls for a diplomatic settlement in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1701, as adopted to end the 2006 Israel–Lebanon war. However, it was never properly implemented. 

It also talks about the compromise on Gaza's 'stalled' ceasefire agreement. Beyond the three-week ceasefire, proposals have also been made to meet regional goals that remain elusive. Among these are issues that have remained beyond the reach of diplomats for the past two decades. World leaders gathered in New York for the annual United Nations General Session. Therefore, the US administration had the opportunity to issue a statement on the Israel-Lebanon crisis in agreement with the world leaders. Which can be considered as 'convenient' from one side.

 But 'success' in getting world powers to agree on 

a cease-fire call does not mean that Israel and 

Hezbollah have already signed an agreement.
