“Hezbollah, the armed faction in Lebanon, which has been put on the defensive due to Israel’s repeated attacks, has brought up the possibility of a ceasefire again. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has drawn a line on the negotiation possibilities, saying he opposes a ceasefire.”
“Naim Qassem, the deputy leader of Hezbollah, stated in a speech on the 15th local time that they have informed Israel that a ceasefire is the solution, according to Reuters.”
“Qassem set the condition that the ceasefire should also occur in Gaza, and mentioned that if Israel does not want a ceasefire, they will continue to fight and inflict pain.”
“In response, Prime Minister Netanyahu reaffirmed his existing stance that a ceasefire that does not prevent the rearmament of Hezbollah is unacceptable.”
“Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that he opposes a unilateral ceasefire that does not change Lebanon’s security situation and merely returns Lebanon to its previous state. He emphasized that Israel is conducting operations to prevent the threat from the Hezbollah terrorist organization to northern residents and to ensure residents can return home safely.”
