Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem dismissed the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire proposal as "Satan's dream in heaven," warning that Israel's northern communities "will not be safe" while Israeli forces continue operating in Lebanon.

Qassem also rejected direct Lebanon-Israel talks as "absurd, humiliating, and shameful," saying Hezbollah's resistance will continue "as long as the occupation exists."

He thanked Iran for its support, saying Tehran is working toward "a comprehensive ceasefire in Lebanon" as part of efforts to end the conflict with Iran.
