Hezbollah Supports Ceasefire Efforts in Lebanon, Deputy Leader Says

Qassem highlighted the political efforts led by Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, emphasizing Hezbollah’s backing of these initiatives. He noted that while the group remains resilient and capable despite the heavy bombardment, a ceasefire is crucial for moving forward.
