Settlement in sight? Khamenei’s message to Hezbollah

Last weekend, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei sent a message to Hezbollah indicating that progress must be made toward an arrangement with Israel with a ceasefire based on UN Resolution 1701 and withdrawal beyond the Litani, as reported by The New York Times.

Last night (Sunday) it was reported in Lebanon that Hezbollah had conveyed its response along with a number of amendments to the ceasefire proposal. According to a report on the Lebanese LBCI network, the response was positive. The last step would be the arrival of Amos Hochstein, President Biden's envoy, in preparation for the final closing of the agreement.

Israel continues to exert military pressure on Hezbollah. Last night (Sunday) the head of the organization's information department, Muhammad Afif, was assassinated.

While the terrorist organization tries to present the assassination as marginal, IDF Radio journalists reveal that it is a significant blow to the organization. Afif was not only a media personality who recently served as the face of Hezbollah, but he also recently held a military position at the top of the organization and even directed military operations since Hezbollah's leadership has been eliminated.
