Kassem insists Hezbollahs weapons are an internal Lebanese matter, but they support the governments demands, including Israeli pullout, Lebanese troops south of the Litani River, prisoner swaps, and people returning home. The U.S.-brokered ceasefire is fragile, with over 2,000 dead and 8,000 injured since the March conflict. Both sides continue to exchange strikes, with Hezbollah losing a commander to an airstrike. As talks approach, Hezbollahs stance remains firm, raising questions about the potential for indirect channels to de-escalate tensions or prolong the conflict.
