Will Hezbollah and Israel agree on a ceasefire? | Israel attacks Lebanon News
The Lebanese group has signalled it is open to a ceasefire with Israel if terms are ‘suitable’.
As Israel continues to bombard Lebanon and trade rocket fire with Hezbollah, negotiations are being held behind closed doors for a deal between the two sides.
But with a caretaker government unable to form a cabinet and no president for two years, Lebanon is in a war that’s pushing its fragile institutions to breaking point as they struggle to respond to a growing humanitarian crisis.
Why would Hezbollah consider a deal with Israel when it has vowed to keep fighting until Gaza sees peace? And how weakened is the armed group after months of Israeli strikes have decimated its leadership?
