Hezbollah welcomes any effort to stop the conflict in Lebanon but does not pin its hopes for a ceasefire on a particular US administration, Hezbollah lawmaker Ibrahim al-Moussawi said when asked about Donald Trump’s election victory.

“It might be a change in the party who is in power, but when it comes to Israel, they have more or less the same policy,” Moussawi told Reuters. “We want to see actions, we want to see decisions taken,” he said.

Moussawi acknowledged the heavy toll of Israeli attacks that have blown apart thousands of buildings, mostly in Lebanon’s Shia Muslim-dominated south and east and Beirut’s southern suburbs, but said the group’s military capabilities remained strong.

“Our hearts are broken — we are losing very dear lives. This feeling that cannot be punished or brought to international justice is a result of US support which renders them immune to accountability,” he said.

“America is a full partner in what’s happening because they can exercise influence to stop this destruction.”
