Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib revealed to CNN that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a 21-day ceasefire shortly before his assassination by Israel on September 27. The ceasefire request, backed by US President Biden and French President Macron during the UN General Assembly, aimed to facilitate diplomatic efforts. Despite this, Hamas has refused to engage in ceasefire negotiations for weeks, according to US officials. Additionally, reports indicate that the US secretly supported Israel’s military actions in Lebanon despite public calls for a ceasefire.
