Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah has said his group will accept Palestinian ally Hamas’s decision on Gaza truce negotiations, repeating that his movement would stop cross-border attacks on Israel if a ceasefire were reached, AFP reports.

“Hamas is negotiating … on behalf of the whole axis of resistance,” Nasrallah said, referring to regional pro-Iran groups opposed to Israel and the United States.

“Whatever Hamas accepts, everyone accepts and is satisfied with,” he said, adding: “We do not ask [Hamas] to coordinate with us because the battle in the first instance is theirs.”

Nasrallah repeated his position that “if a ceasefire is reached, and we all hope for that … our front will cease fire without any discussion.

“That is a commitment, because it is a support front and we have been clear [about this] from the start,” he said, during a televised address commemorating a senior Hezbollah commander killed in an Israeli strike last week.

However, Nasrallah warned that “we will never allow any attack that the Israeli enemy might carry out against Lebanon [even] if there is a ceasefire in Gaza.”
