Hezbollah Secretary-General said Saturday that the Israel-Lebanon agreement is void and that the understandings between the United States and Iran must be implemented, according to a statement reported by i24NEWS. The remarks signal Hezbollah's rejection of the current diplomatic framework and insistence on a US-Iran led arrangement.
Hezbollah's secretary-general declared on Saturday that the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire agreement is 'void' and called for implementing the understandings reached between the United States and Iran, according to a statement reported by i24NEWS. The comments mark a significant hardening of Hezbollah's public stance toward the existing diplomatic framework, which was brokered between Israel and Lebanon in late 2024 with US and French mediation.
The statement comes amid an ongoing series of mutual violations along the border. As The Zioneer reported on June 14, the IDF struck over 70 Hezbollah infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon in a single day, and on June 19 struck two Hezbollah headquarters in the Bekaa Valley in what the military described as its largest single-day operation since the ceasefire. The new declaration suggests Hezbollah is positioning itself to reject any arrangement that does not directly incorporate Iranian interests, a posture that could further destabilize the fragile truce.
No independent verification of the statement's full context was immediately available, and the IDF has not yet responded.
