AhlulBayt News Agency: According to reports from Israeli Channel 12, Lebanon’s Hezbollah has firmly rejected any amendments or concessions related to UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which governs the cessation of hostilities between Israel and Lebanon.
Hezbollah insists on the immediate and full implementation of the resolution without modifications, particularly those that could favor Israeli military or aerial operations over Lebanon.
Nabih Berri, Lebanon's Parliamentary Speaker, emphasized that Lebanon will not accept alterations to the resolution as part of any ceasefire negotiations. While Berri noted a generally positive atmosphere in discussions, he highlighted the need for vigilance given Israel's history of delays and obstructions under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Tensions in southern Lebanon have been high since October 8, 2023, following escalations linked to the Gaza conflict. Hezbollah has conducted daily operations targeting Israeli positions, aiming to alleviate pressure on Gaza. These operations have resulted in the destruction of Israeli military assets and the displacement of numerous settlers from northern Israeli towns.
The conflict underscores the fragile state of the ceasefire discussions, with both Hezbollah and Lebanese officials united in opposing any Israeli attempts to impose new conditions or expand its operational freedoms under the guise of Resolution 1701.
This ongoing dispute reflects broader regional dynamics as resistance movements and Israeli forces continue to clash over territorial and strategic objectives.
