Lebanon's Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib revealed that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a 21-day ceasefire just days before being assassinated by Israel. The temporary ceasefire was called for by US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, and other allies during the recent UN General Assembly.
Habib stated that Nasrallah had agreed to the ceasefire after consultations with Lebanese House Speaker Nabih Berri and Hezbollah. The US and France were informed of this agreement, and White House senior adviser Amos Hochstein was set to negotiate the ceasefire in Lebanon.
