Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Thursday evening that Hezbollah remains committed to the ceasefire, provided Israel adheres to it in full, according to a report by Barak Ravid (N12). Berri's statement came after President Trump's latest remarks on the Lebanon front.
Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri stated Thursday evening that Hezbollah remains committed to a ceasefire, conditioning its continued observance on full Israeli compliance, as reported by Barak Ravid (N12).
The statement follows President Trump's Thursday evening demand for a full multi-front ceasefire explicitly including Lebanon, which The Zioneer earlier reported. Berri's position also echoes his June 9 indication, conveyed to the U.S. ambassador, that both Hezbollah and the Amal movement were ready to declare a comprehensive ceasefire.
The qualification — "as long as Israel complies fully" — mirrors Hezbollah's longstanding insistence that any cessation of hostilities is a reciprocal arrangement rather than an unconditional commitment. Whether Israel will accept the framework on these terms remains an open question. The Trump administration's demand for a permanent ceasefire with Hezbollah, reported earlier this month, has intensified diplomatic pressure on Jerusalem to reach a resolution on the northern front.
