No ceasefire without Israel withdrawing from south Lebanon: MP
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.
