Ambassador to the US says Israel ‘firmly committed to immediate ceasefire’ with Hezbollah

Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter says Israel “remains firmly committed to an immediate ceasefire” with Hezbollah, after a new truce was declared this afternoon.

“At 11:30 this morning, Israel halted all offensive operations; Hezbollah and Iranian claims to the contrary are bold lies,” Leiter writes on X. “If Hezbollah honors the agreement and ceases its hostilities, they will be met with quiet.”
