Hezbollah has repeatedly refused any discussion on ceasing its operations or discussing the Lebanese border situation until Israel stops its war on Gaza
Top Israeli officials rejected all talk of western-sponsored ceasefire plans for Lebanon on 26 September, vowing to continue Tel Aviv’s brutal aerial assault across the Levantine nation.
“There will be no ceasefire in the north. We will continue to fight against the terrorist organization Hezbollah with all our might until victory and the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes,” Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said via social media on 26 September.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement on Wednesday that “reports about the possibility of reaching a ceasefire in the north today are incorrect.”
The US and its western and Arab allies released a statement on 25 September calling for a three-week ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, following another night of heavy Israeli strikes on south and east Lebanon.
Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, the UK, and Qatar signed the statement, which they say will allow for negotiations to pressure Hezbollah to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
During the three-week period, the hope is that stalemated Gaza prisoner exchange and ceasefire talks can resume, a US official told reporters on Wednesday.
Netanyahu’s office also doubled down on the position that “fighting in Gaza will continue until all war goals are achieved.”
The office of Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati rejected on 26 September reports that the Lebanese state has signed a ceasefire agreement following a meeting with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and White House envoy Amos Hochstein.
...Washington and France have been pushing a “de-escalation” proposal since the start of the war, aiming to force Hezbollah to withdraw behind the Litani River – within the framework of Resolution 1701 drafted at the end of the 2006 war – and return evacuated Israelis to the northern settlements, without demanding any significant concessions from Tel Aviv.
Hezbollah has refused any discussion on the border situation or on stopping its operations until the war in Gaza is brought to an end.
