Hezbollah official says group told authorities it rejects proposed truce with Israel
A Hezbollah official told AFP on Thursday that the group had informed Lebanese authorities that it rejects a ceasefire announced after Israel-Lebanon talks in Washington a day earlier.
The official said on condition of anonymity that the position, which was announced by Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem in a televised message, was passed on "to Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri," a Hezbollah ally acting as an intermediary who "shares this position."
President Joseph Aoun had said earlier Thursday he was waiting for Hezbollah's response.
