Share:
The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has expressed approval for the ceasefire agreement with Israel while rejecting the possibility of direct negotiations between the parties. The truce between Tel Aviv and Beirut took effect from Thursday to Friday of last week and is scheduled to last ten days. The ceasefire represents a temporary halt to hostilities between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah, which operates from southern Lebanon and has been engaged in cross-border fighting with Israeli forces.
