Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah agreed to 21-day ceasefire before he was killed by Israel, says Lebanon minister
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was killed in a massive airstrike on September 27 in the group headquarters in Dahiyeh. His death was announced by Israel, and then confirmed by Iran.
Lebanon foreign minister Abdallah Bou Habib told CNN that Nasrallah had agreed to a 21-day ceasefire with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu days before his death. The temporary ceasefire was called for by US President Joe Biden, France President Emmanuel Macron, and other allies on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly last month.
Habib said, "We agreed completely. Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire but (after) consulting with Hezbollah. The (Lebanese House) Speaker Mr Nabih Berri consulted with Hezbollah and we informed the Americans and the French about what happened. And they told us that Mr Netanyahu also agreed on the statement that was issued by both (US and French) presidents (Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron)...They told us that Mr Netanyahu agreed on this and so we also got the agreement of Hezbollah on that and you know what happened since then."
Following the Hezbollah leader’s death, Iranian authorities are thoroughly investigating possible infiltration within its ranks, including the Revolutionary Guards to senior security officials. They have focused on those who travel abroad or have relatives outside of Iran. As per reports, Tehran grew suspicious of certain members of the Guards who have been travelling to Lebanon. One of these members reportedly asked about Nasrallah’s whereabouts and how long he would remain in those particular locations.
Thats WHY they killed him. Cant have those "evil blood thirty terrorists" calling for peace now can they? That would ruin the optics of their special military operation or whatever they're calling their invasion of Lebanon.
It's mad that they have operatives so high up in Hezbollah that they can compromise the entirety of their means of communication in one stroke but couldn't use those same operatives and compromised lines of communication to see the October attacks coming.
Hopefully, mossad waited long enough before doing this that no one will think to try and reconcile the two.
I remember a few posts here on lemmy saying that the American secret service warned Netanyahu that the October attacks were gonna happen but he decided to ignore the warnings. My guess is that he wanted them to happen as an excuse to start the genocide.
sounds familiar
They could say anything and we would not know what the real truth was, so of course they would say something that would cast a poor light on Israel...eh, at this point I don't give a shit. Fuck Bibi in his genocidal ass.
Bruh they really airstriked their HQ because he agreed to a ceasfire.
And it's not even something unbelievable because Nasrallah already mentioned way back in Octobor that he was very reluctant to join in with Hamas's attack.
They killed Ismail Haniyeh for the same reason.
Israel spent decades pacifying their enemies, and now they're literally too passive to use as a reason for expansion.
Rumors are that a Gaza ceasefire was included in the deal. Nasrallah was always unwilling to decouple Gaza from the equation.
First Hamas. Now hezbollah. Pretty weird stuff.
The way Bibi has responded, I’m not sure he didn’t know.
it is well known israel doesnt want a cease fire. they will only be satisfied with total annihilation. pretty sure the other sides feel the same way.
