Sets conditions
Hezbollah chief ready for ceasefire with Israel
The new Hezbollah leader Naim Kassim says he is ready for a ceasefire with Israel - under certain "conditions". However, he says that a suitable plan is not currently on the table.
"If the Israelis decide that they want to stop the aggression, we will say that we agree, but under our conditions," said Kassim on Wednesday in his first speech as the new head of Hezbollah.
According to Israeli media, the US Middle East envoy Brett McGurk and the US special envoy for Lebanon, Amos Hochstein, will travel to the region on Wednesday to discuss the possible conditions for a ceasefire with Hezbollah with Israel's head of government Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli government representatives.
Their aim is to implement an agreement prepared by Hochstein, which is based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
