Hezbollah parliamentarian says ceasefire ‘meaningless’ while Israeli forces occupy Lebanon A senior Hezbollah lawmaker has ruled out a ceasefire with Israel while the Israeli army remains in Lebanese territory, warning that further aggression will be met with a response.

“A ceasefire while the enemy continues its targeting and assassinations is meaningless,” a representative of Hezbollah in Lebanese parliament said in comments carried by Iranian media, adding that “the right of self defence is established for us and is not subject to bargaining or negotiation”.

The parliamentarian said that the Iranian “military and diplomatic support for the Lebanese people” are key reasons for ensuring “an effective balance with the Zionist enemy” which can “open up the horizon for forcing it to leave our land”.
