Lebanon's Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib revealed in an interview that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a 21-day ceasefire just days before his assassination by Israel. The temporary ceasefire was proposed 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, with Lebanon consulting with Hezbollah on the matter. The Lebanese House Speaker, Nabih Berri, engaged with Hezbollah, and the decision was communicated to the American and French leaders. It was reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also consented to the ceasefire proposal put forth by Biden and Macron.
