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 new year began with a scandal. A documentary built on the testimony of twenty-four anonymous Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers won a prize in Venice and set off a fury at home. The chief of staff has ordered a legal hunt for the sources; the culture minister speaks of treason.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that a new documentary film which alleges that mass civilian deaths were routinely built into targeting decisions in Gaza was part of a wave of global incitement against Jews.
Lebanese MP Nadim Gemayel of the Kataeb party said that his party does not oppose Lebanon making peace with neighboring Israel, which still occupies more than 600 square kilometers of Lebanese territory and has razed dozens of border villages in its war against Hezbollah.
