Hezbollah and the Amal Movement are no longer insisting on an Israeli withdrawal before agreeing to a ceasefire, according to a Lebanese source cited by Al Hadath.
Take this report with caution.
Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, leader of the Amal movement and a key Hezbollah ally, tells NBN:
"I can guarantee a full, comprehensive and immediate commitment to a ceasefire on the part of the resistance, but the question is who will oblige Israel to stop its attacks from land, sea and air and the destruction of villages and houses?"
U.S. sanctioned nine individuals for aiding Hezbollah. Targets include Iran's ambassador to Beirut Ali Reza Shibani - who refused expulsion - and Mohammad Fanish, designated head of Hezbollah's Executive Council despite the group officially assigning someone else. Two Amal Movement military officials, four Hezbollah MPs, and two Lebanese security figures also hit. Signals deep Hezbollah penetration across Lebanese institutions.
