Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

A militia group Hizbullah expressed support for the government’s efforts Lebanon fighting for peace in the country, when Israel to attack everyone from October 1.

The deputy leader of Hezbollah, Naim Qassem, said that his party openly supports the government’s efforts to end the war in Lebanon.

“We support (Parliament Speaker) Nabih Berri’s political efforts to reach a ceasefire,” Qassem said in a televised speech, as reported by AFP.

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Nabih Berri, close allies of Shiite Hezbollah, have been seeking a truce between Israel and Hezbollah for some time. The talks were mediated by Western countries.

Previously, Hezbollah stressed that it did not want a ceasefire with Israel unless the Zionist State stopped attacks on the Palestinian Gaza Strip. But now, after Lebanon began a brutal offensive, Hezbollah has calmed these conditions.

Israeli military forces have launched a ground attack on southern Lebanon since the early hours of October 1. The Zionist military claims that the attack is limited and only to neutralize border areas.

This attack was launched after Israel and Hezbollah engaged in intense firefights over the past year. The attack was also launched after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on September 27.

According to Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib, before his death, Nasrallah had already agreed to a temporary ceasefire requested by the President of the United States Joe Biden, the President of France Emmanuel Macron, and several countries at the last United Nations (UN) General Assembly. month .

However, Israel killed Nasrallah soon after.

After Nasrallah’s death, several US officials told CNN that the Biden administration was not really pushing for a ceasefire in Lebanon.

The US is said to be targeting Iran, which attacked Israel with hundreds of ballistic missiles on the same day the Zionist State attacked southern Lebanon.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller’s comments regarding Hezbollah’s desire for a ceasefire also explain the US position.

Miller mocked Hezbollah for suddenly calling for a ceasefire after asking it to reject the idea for a year.

“For a year, the world has been asking for a ceasefire, but Hezbollah has refused. And now when Hezbollah is crushed and beaten, suddenly they have changed their tune and they want a ceasefire,” he said.

Miller also emphasized that the US “supports Israel’s efforts to reduce Hezbollah’s capabilities”. However, Washington also wants to see a diplomatic resolution to this conflict.
