Hezbollah has publicly endorsed efforts for a ceasefire in Lebanon for the first time as Israel intensifies its military offensive. The group's acting leader, Naim Kassem, has asserted that Hezbollah is prepared to engage in ceasefire talks, stating that it is committed to repelling Israeli advances while claiming that its capabilities remain intact despite significant losses. Notably, Hezbollah officials have dropped the requirement for a Gaza truce as a condition for a ceasefire in Lebanon. This shift comes amid claims from U.S. officials that Hezbollah's call for a ceasefire indicates that the group is under considerable pressure. As Israel continues its strikes, Hezbollah has vowed to maintain its fight against Israeli forces and has issued threats signaling further retaliation. The situation remains highly volatile, with fears of an increasing humanitarian crisis in Lebanon as the conflict unfolds.
