Hezbollah says it received no peace proposal despite Israeli claims
Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah says it has received no peace proposal despite Israeli claims otherwise.
Spokesman Mohammed Afif said on Monday, “So far, according to my information, nothing official has reached Lebanon or us in this regard.”
“I believe that we are still in the phase of testing the waters and presenting initial ideas and proactive discussions, but so far there is nothing actual yet,” he added.
With respect to the current circumstances on the field, Afif said the aggressive Israeli forces have failed to occupy any Lebanese villages more than six weeks into the regime’s ground invasion.
“After 45 days of intense fighting, Israel has failed to occupy even a single Lebanese village.”
The Hezbollah official attributed the Israeli failure to the resolve of Hezbollah fighters and their intimate knowledge of the southern Lebanon battlefield.
The Israeli regime’s foreign minister has claimed the two sides are making “progress” in the ceasefire process.
Israeli media reports have said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet had approved a ceasefire proposal.
Lebanese media have reported that “well-informed” sources suggest outgoing US President Joe Biden may soon send his envoy Amos Hochstein to Beirut, carrying specific proposals for a ceasefire.
The sources, reports say, have emphasized the need to pressure the Israeli side to lower its demands. The Lebanese side says the truce should be in the framework of UN Resolution 1701.
During his tenure, Biden and his administration supported the Israeli regime’s campaign of genocide in the Gaza Strip and the Zionist extension of aggression into Lebanon.
President-elect Donald Trump has accused Biden of restraining the Israeli regime in the US-backed war on Gaza and Lebanon.
Trump, notoriously unpredictable, has in the past launched multiple verbal attacks against Netanyahu, saying the Israeli prime minister did not ever want to make peace with the Arab nations.
“Bibi did not want to make a deal,” he said, using Netanyahu’s nickname.
“I don’t think Bibi ever wanted to make peace. I think he just tapped us along … ‘No, no, we want to, we want to’… But I think Bibi did not want to make peace. Never did.”
During his recent presidential campaign, Trump had indicated he aimed to help Netanyahu “finish the job.”
