A senior Lebanese legislator says the Hezbollah resistance movement is willing to adhere to the ongoing ten-day ceasefire between the Beirut government and the Israeli regime, but insists the truce must include the pullout of Israeli occupation forces from southern Lebanon.

‎Hassan Fadlallah, a member of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc, Hezbollah’s political wing in parliament, stated on Monday that Hezbollah will bring down the so-called “Yellow Line” military zone and buffer zone across southern Lebanon.‎

‎”We will reject and confront the imposition of new equations,” Fadlallah said.‎

‎He added that it is in Lebanese President Joseph Aoun’s interest to withdraw from direct negotiations with Israel and from any meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.‎

‎The Lebanese lawmaker also emphasized that no party, inside or outside Lebanon, is capable of disarming Hezbollah.‎

‎Under the so-called “Yellow Line” policy, the Israeli army remains active within the buffer zones to carry out the demolition of Hezbollah resistance positions.‎

‎Since indirect negotiations began between Iranian and US delegations in Islamabad over an end to the US-Israeli aggression on Iran, Tehran has continuously pushed for a ceasefire in Lebanon as a key condition for any progress in the talks.‎

‎Israel had tried to continue its war on Lebanon despite the ceasefire agreement, and the United States had sought to evade the issue by violating its initial commitment.

‎But Iran stood its ground, ultimately forcing US President Donald Trump and the Israeli regime to announce that the ceasefire would involve Lebanon.
