Lebanon’s diplomatic mission in Washington announced Monday that Hezbollah has agreed to a United States-proposed ceasefire arrangement that would halt mutual attacks and potentially expand throughout Lebanon.
According to a statement released by Lebanon’s presidential office on X, the plan would initially prevent Israeli attacks on Beirut’s southern neighborhoods while the Iran-supported Hezbollah would cease its strikes against Israel. This comes after Israeli threats to target the capital’s suburban areas on Monday.
Speaking to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television network, the group’s lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah indicated Hezbollah would back a comprehensive ceasefire throughout Lebanon as a step toward Israeli military withdrawal. Fadlallah noted the organization would monitor whether the hostilities cessation holds in upcoming days.
