The U.N. Security Council was expected to vote Friday on a six-page proposal aimed at ending the monthlong conflict between Israel and Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said he expected the Security Council to pass the draft resolution unanimously.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will recommend the resolution be accepted by the government, an Israeli government official said.

Hezbollah has not responded to the proposal.
