Nasrallah: If Hamas agrees to ceasefire with Israel, Hezbollah will also halt attacks

The Times of Israel reports: “Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday his Lebanese terror group would accept Palestinian ally Hamas’s decision on Gaza hostage negotiations and would stop cross-border attacks on Israel if a ceasefire were reached.

Hezbollah has traded almost daily fire with Israeli forces in support of Hamas since the Palestinian terror group’s October 7 attack on Israel triggered war in the Gaza Strip, stoking fears of a full-blown conflict in the north.

‘Hamas is negotiating… on behalf of the whole axis of resistance,’ Nasrallah said, referring to regional pro-Iran groups opposed to Israel and the United States.

‘Whatever Hamas accepts, everyone accepts and is satisfied with,’ he said, adding: ‘We do not ask (Hamas) to coordinate with us because the battle in the first instance is theirs.’

Nasrallah’s remarks came days after he met with a Hamas delegation headed by foreign relations chief Khalil al-Hayya, and as talks were to resume in Qatar toward a truce-for-hostage deal in the Gaza war, now grinding into its 10th month…”
