Hezbollah official: We’ll cease fire as soon as Israel-Hamas truce reached in Gaza
A Hezbollah official tells Reuters that the terror group would cease fire on Israel as soon as any Gaza ceasefire agreement takes effect, echoing previous statements from the group.
“If there is a Gaza agreement, then from zero hour there will be a ceasefire in Lebanon,” the Hezbollah official says.
A Hezbollah statement says its leader Hassan Nasrallah received Hamas deputy chief Khalil Al-Hayya for a meeting earlier today, which reviewed “the latest security and political developments” in the Gaza Strip.
“They also discussed the latest developments in the ongoing negotiations these days, their atmosphere, and the proposals presented to reach an end to the treacherous aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip,” the statement says.
