Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Thursday evening that Lebanon is committed to the ceasefire, provided Israel complies fully and comprehensively, according to Lebanon's parliament. The statement mirrors earlier remarks from Hezbollah-aligned officials, including Berri's own comment from earlier Thursday that Hezbollah is committed.
Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri stated at 22:40 Jerusalem that "Lebanon is committed to the ceasefire as long as Israel adheres to it fully and comprehensively," according to Lebanese parliamentary sources. The statement extends Berri's earlier position: at 22:37 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported Berri telling Israeli outlet N12 that Hezbollah remains committed to the ceasefire provided Israel fully complies. In the new formulation, Berri speaks for the Lebanese state itself, not only the Hezbollah militia, while retaining the same conditional language that leaves each side room to claim breach.
The two statements within three minutes underscore a coordinated public posture. The development follows President Trump's call for a full ceasefire on all fronts at 21:59 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported. Earlier Thursday, at 22:28 Jerusalem, the IRGC spokesperson warned Iran remains committed to its deal with the US but is prepared to strike if attacks on Lebanon continue. Over the past week, The Zioneer has reported a sequence of Iranian demands linking Lebanon's fate to any broader deal, including a finalized text claim on Jun 12, a demand for US enforcement on Jun 15, and a condition that a war-ending agreement must include Lebanon on Jun 13.
No Israeli response had been published as of 22:40 Jerusalem. Berri's repeated conditional pledges — first for Hezbollah, now for the state — have not yet been matched by any Israeli or US confirmation of Israel's own adherence, leaving the ceasefire's practical status ambiguous.
