Shafaq News- Beirut
Hezbollah political official Mahmoud Qomati said the group
rejects any partial ceasefire agreement with Israel that does not cover all
Lebanese territory.
Speaking to media outlets, Qomati noted that Hezbollah would
not accept a formula of “Beirut’s southern suburbs in exchange for Israeli
settlements,” referring to proposals under which Israel would halt strikes on
Beirut’s southern suburbs while Hezbollah would stop targeting northern Israeli
settlements, with Israeli military operations continuing in southern Lebanon.
Qomati stressed that Hezbollah supports only a comprehensive
ceasefire and opposes any return to conditions that existed before March 2,
2026. Under the November 27, 2024, agreement to halt hostilities, Lebanon
witnessed daily Israeli airstrikes and targeted killings of Hezbollah members
and civilians until March 2, 2026, without military retaliation from the group
during that period.
Meanwhile, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun informed
Washington that he had received assurances from Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih
Berri that Hezbollah would abide by a comprehensive ceasefire if Israel also
committed to it.
