Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has rejected the ceasefire terms with Israel, specifically objecting to the establishment of a committee to oversee the implementation of UN Resolution 1701. Berri believes that the existing monitoring mechanism should be used instead. He promised that Lebanon would respond to the proposal soon and that US envoy Amos Hochstein would visit Lebanon if there was any progress. According to sources, the escalation of attacks in Lebanon is seen as a risky gamble to pressure Hezbollah into agreeing to a ceasefire on Israel's terms. The negotiations are primarily taking place between the US and Israel, with Lebanon demanding an immediate and complete ceasefire and a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from its territory. The big question remains whether Hezbollah's leadership will agree to the required concessions.
