Lebanese Foreign Minister Claims Hezbollah Leader Agreed to Temporary Ceasefire Days Before Assassination

ai generated text

Multiple sources report that Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, agreed to a temporary ceasefire. The ceasefire was reportedly called for by US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron. Abdallah Bou Habib, a Lebanese official, states that Nasrallah agreed to a 21-day ceasefire, although the exact duration of the ceasefire is not consistently reported.

    1. The key to its (the proposal's) implementation is through Israel's commitment to enforcing international resolutions.
    2. My presence here aims to come out of this session with a serious solution based on the combined efforts of all members of the Security Council to pressure Israel to immediately cease fire on all fronts and restore security and stability to our region.

    1. I don't think we have an alternative. We need the United States' help. Whether we get it or not, we're not sure yet, but [the] United States is very important, vital for the ceasefire to happen.
    2. They told us that Mr. Netanyahu agreed on this and so we also got the agreement of Hezbollah on that and you know what happened since then.
    3. We agreed completely. Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire but consulting with Hezbollah. The [Lebanese House] Speaker Mr. Nabih Berri consulted with Hezbollah and we informed the Americans and the French what happened. And they told us that Mr. [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu also agreed on the statement that was issued by both presidents [Biden and Macron.]

    1. I can't speak to whether he ever agreed to it and told somebody inside Lebanon. Obviously, that could be something that happened that we wouldn't be aware of. I can tell you that, if that's true, it was never communicated to us in any way shape or form.
    2. We were having a number of diplomatic engagements to talk about the proposals that we were going to put forward. I think all of the parties were well aware of the proposals that we were going to put forward, but at no time in those conversations did we get a message that Hezbollah had agreed or was going to agree to it.
