Hezbollah Leader Killed Amid Ceasefire Controversy

Lebanon's Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib has claimed that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah agreed to a ceasefire with Israel just days before his assassination in an Israeli airstrike. This agreement was reportedly brokered by the US and supported by several nations, including France and Saudi Arabia, but was not acknowledged by the State Department. Some sources suggest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had initially agreed to the ceasefire but later rejected it publicly, contributing to the ongoing conflict. The clashes between Israel and Hezbollah have diverted global attention from the Gaza conflict, potentially prolonging it. Meanwhile, missile exchanges between Israel and Iran continue, with Israel warning of severe consequences. The Lebanese ambassador to the UK and other officials are urging de-escalation and a ceasefire in the region.
