The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has rejected the phrases of a ceasefire settlement between Israel and Lebanon.
The Iran-backed group’s chief Naim Qassem stated on Thursday that negotiations had been “futile” and “humiliating” for Lebanon, and rejected categorically by “broad segments of the Lebanese folks”.
It comes after Israel and Lebanon agreed to create “pilot” safety zones inside Lebanon, during which Hezbollah operatives can be banned, as a part of the renewed ceasefire.
The settlement is “contingent on a whole cessation” of assaults by the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah, amongst different circumstances. Hezbollah is designated as a terrorist organisation by Israel and plenty of different international locations, together with the UK and US.
BBC correspondent John Sudworth explains why the ceasefire is so fragile on this report from the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahieh, within the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
