The newly appointed leader of Hezbollah announced on Wednesday that the organization is prepared to agree to a ceasefire with Israel, but only under specific conditions.
"The upcoming U.S. elections seem to be a pivotal moment in this war. Israel’s losses on the ground will weigh heavily on their decisions, as they have failed to achieve any of their objectives," declared the new Hezbollah Secretary-General, appointed just a day prior. He emphasized, "We do not know when all these factors might lead to an end to the war, but we continue the fight and will not beg for a ceasefire. If the Israelis want to stop, it will be on our terms."
Regarding the ongoing negotiations, the Hezbollah leader noted that they "have not yet yielded any results."
He added that Hezbollah is "on the same page" as Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berry, who has been handling the discussions on behalf of Lebanon.
Meanwhile, multiple Israeli media outlets reported that U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein and another senior adviser to President Joe Biden are expected to arrive in Israel tomorrow to discuss the terms of a potential ceasefire with Lebanon.
The Israeli military announced Wednesday the elimination of Hassan Ali Marwan, commander of Hezbollah's Imam Hussein Brigade, killed in an overnight airstrike in the Beirut area, just one week after his predecessor was eliminated in the same role.
Hours after threatening to strike bridges crossing the Litani River, the Israeli military followed through, bombing two bridges in the Tyre district of South Lebanon.
Israel announced Wednesday it had killed Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib, the second elimination of a top Iranian leadership figure in as many days, and revealed that the Israeli military had been given blanket authorisation to target any senior Iranian official without requiring additional political approval.
