‘Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to ceasefire’
The Free Press Journal|October 04, 2024
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a 21-day ceasefire with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just days before he was killed in an Israeli air-strike in Beirut last week, Lebanon Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib told CNN.
‘Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to ceasefire’

The temporary ceasefire was called for by US President Joe Biden, Macron and other allies after they met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly last month. The ceasefire demand came up after Hezbollah blamed Israel for the numerous explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies used by the group in mid-September.

White House senior advisor Amos Hochstein was set to go to Lebanon to negotiate the ceasefire deal, according to the Lebanese Foreign Minister.

“They told us that Netanyahu agreed on this and so we also got the agreement of Hezbollah on that and you know what happened since then,” Habib said.
