Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday that Israel must withdraw from Lebanon according to a pre-agreed timetable, amid reports that Iran made a ceasefire in Lebanon a key condition in its memorandum of understanding with the United States. Nasrallah's statement, reported by The Jerusalem Post, did not specify the timeline.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah on Wednesday demanded that Israel withdraw from Lebanon according to a pre-agreed timetable, as The Jerusalem Post reported. The statement follows a series of reports over recent weeks — covered extensively by The Zioneer — detailing an emerging framework between Iran and the United States in which a ceasefire in Lebanon is a central Iranian condition.
Nasrallah's statement did not specify the timeline for withdrawal. Earlier this week, a senior Hezbollah official told Reuters that Iran had communicated to the organization that talks with the U.S. could not continue without a comprehensive ceasefire on all fronts. Previous reporting by The Zioneer has detailed conditions reportedly demanded by Iran, including a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the release of Hezbollah prisoners.
The remark from Nasrallah comes as the diplomatic track between Washington and Tehran appears to advance, though specifics of a potential agreement remain unverified. Israel has not publicly commented on the reported timetable or withdrawal conditions.
