Barak Ravid, a reporter for Israel’s Channel 12 news and US website Axios, speaks with a news outlet in Lebanon in what he describes as the first interview of an Israeli journalist on Lebanese television.
Conversing in English, Ravid is asked about his interview this week with a top aide for Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah ally, who claimed he could guarantee the terror group’s commitment to a comprehensive ceasefire.
“As far as I know the negotiations are still ongoing,” Ravid tells LBCI, adding that he believes Hezbollah’s rejection of the latest ceasefire proposal was a tactical move to strengthen its negotiating position in the US-brokered talks between Jerusalem and Beirut.
