Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem will deliver an address at 4 p.m. today, Hezbollah says in a short statement.
Qassem was supposed to give a speech yesterday, but it was postponed for unknown reasons, though speculation has centered around the arrival of US special envoy Amos Hochstein to clinch a negotiated ceasefire ending the Iran-backed group’s war with Israel.
The timing and subject of the speech are unknown.
According to Lebanese reports, Hochstein is currently meeting with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who is negotiating on Hezbollah’s behalf, as they seek to hammer out the final details of a ceasefire proposal.
The US mediator is expected to deliver remarks following the meeting.
