Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah ally, will guarantee the group’s adherence to a “global ceasefire” with Israel, his adviser has told AFP.

Berri, who heads the Hezbollah-allied Amal party, has long acted as an intermediary between the group and the United States.

Adviser Ali Hamdan told AFP that “Speaker Berri’s main demand is a global ceasefire. If a global ceasefire deal is reached, he will guarantee Hezbollah’s respect for it.”

Hamdan said a “global ceasefire means a halt to Israeli strikes by air, land or sea, and that it will not carry out detonations or demolitions” in the south, where Israel is accused of razing entire villages.
