Hezbollah rejects ceasefire proposals by foreign envoys

Hezbollah rejects ceasefire proposals by foreign envoys: "Hezbollah on Monday dismissed international ceasefire proposals as ‘Israeli conditions,’ accusing foreign envoys of allowing Israel time to continue its military offensive to force Lebanon into submission.

Haj Hassan, the Hezbollah legislator, outlined Hezbollah's terms for ending the fighting. ‘We want a ceasefire without conditions and then indirect negotiations that will lead to an exchange of prisoners. This is what we can accept. Anything else will be Israeli conditions that can never be accepted,’ he told al-Jazeera."
