Hezbollah says will accept any Hamas truce decision, abide by ceasefire
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.”
