The deputy leader of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah says the only definite path to a cease-fire on the Lebanon-Israel border is a full cease-fire in Gaza.
Hezbollah's deputy leader Sheik Naim Kassem , speaks during an interview with The Associated Press in Beirut's southern suburbs, Lebanon, Tuesday, July 2, 2024. Kassem said that the only definite path to a cease-fire on the Lebanon-Israel border is a full cease-fire in Gaza.
In recent weeks, with Gaza cease-fire talks faltering, fears have increased of an escalation on the Lebanon-Israel front. Hezbollah has traded near-daily strikes with Israeli forces along their border over the past nine months. The low-level conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has displaced tens of thousands on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border.
Some Israeli officials have said they are seeking a diplomatic solution to the standoff and hope to avoid war. At the same time, they have warned that the scenes of destruction seen in Gaza will be repeated in Lebanon if war breaks out.
