A senior Hezbollah official says the terror group still wants to review the ceasefire deal authorized by Israel.

“We must examine the points that Netanyahu agreed to before the [Lebanese] government signs tomorrow,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy head of Hezbollah’s political council tells Al Jazeera.

Qamati says Hezbollah doesn’t trust Netanyahu and wants to make sure it isn’t being tricked with the agreement.

“We must examine the points that Netanyahu agreed to before the [Lebanese] government signs on tomorrow,” he adds.

“We want an end to the aggression, of course, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of the state,” says Qamati.
