Hezbollah Formally Rejects Israeli Ceasefire Terms for Lebanon

—Hezbollah issued a formal rejection of Israeli ceasefire terms for the ongoing Lebanon conflict, dashing hopes for a quick end to the fighting. The Lebanese militant group said the Israeli conditions were unacceptable and that it remained confident a broader US-Iran deal would eventually include a ceasefire in Lebanon as well. Israel continued launching strikes against targets in Lebanese territory despite the diplomatic impasse. The Biden-era ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has collapsed since Israel renewed operations. Trump told the BBC that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had not actually defied him despite the continuing Lebanese escalation, signaling continued American tolerance for the military campaign.
