Hezbollah lawmaker says group rejects direct negotiations with Israel

Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Fayyad said on Thursday that ‌the group rejected direct negotiations with Israel and that the Lebanese government should demand ⁠a ceasefire as a precondition before any further steps are taken.

Fayyad's statement came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had instructed ‌his ⁠cabinet to begin direct talks with Lebanon. Fayyad said the Lebanese government's ⁠position should also prioritize the withdrawal of Israeli troops ⁠from Lebanese territory and the return of ⁠displaced people to their homes.
