US envoy Amos Hochstein is openly discussing amendments to Resolution 1701, Ibrahim al-Moussawi, a member of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc in the Lebanese Parliament, told Al Mayadeen on Monday.

According to al-Moussawi, Hezbollah is focused on the battlefield, while the negotiations are entrusted to Speaker Nabih Berri, who delivered the appropriate message to the US envoy.

He said that what Berri stated regarding the priority of a ceasefire is a fundamental principle, recalling what the Speaker said, "All's well that ends well."

The Lebanese MP pointed out that the battles is still in its early stages, adding that the "[Israeli] enemy is not in a position of triumph."

Earlier on Monday, Axios reported, citing US and Israeli officials, that the Israeli occupation government submitted a document to the US Department last week outlining its conditions for a ceasefire to end the aggression on Lebanon and enable the return of displaced civilians.

The document was delivered by Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, on Thursday, ahead of Hochstein's visit to Beirut on Monday.

Israeli officials indicated that the document reflects key principles discussed with the Israeli Ministry of Security and the Israeli occupation forces, emphasizing what "Israel" demands in any diplomatic solution to end the war.

One of the demands includes Israeli forces' engagement along the border to ensure "active enforcement" that prevents the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon from rebuilding military infrastructure in southern Lebanon near the border, an Israeli official told Axios.

Another demand is for "Israel" to have the freedom to operate in Lebanese airspace, which would constitute a blatant violation of Lebanon's sovereignty.

These two demands contradict UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which mandates that the Lebanese Armed Forces and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) enforce a ceasefire between "Israel" and Hezbollah.

Coming days will reveal more of Hezbollah's capabilities

The strength of the Resistance fighters is sufficient evidence of Hezbollah's capabilities, al-Moussawi told Al Mayadeen on Monday.

He indicated that the barrages of rockets launched from Lebanon reflects the level of control the resistance has and its ability to reach its targets, adding that "Israel" is not in a position to impose diktats.

"Israel" will not be allowed to impose its conditions on Hezbollah or Lebanon, he made it clear.

Al-Moussawi suggested that the coming days will reveal more of the Islamic Resistance's capabilities, which will play a key role in reshaping the balance of power.

According to the Lebanese MP, "Israel" is in shock because the assassinations targeting the resistance would have incapacitated any other organization.

He added that "Israel" will be even more shocked by the Resistance's capabilities, strategic planning, patience, and the way it approaches its objectives with precise timing.

Those betting on "Israel's" victory or the weakening of Hezbollah will soon realize that the Lebanese Resistance is stronger and more steadfast than ever, al-Moussawi underscored.

He also warned that anyone acting as informants for the Israeli enemy will face disappointment.

Displaced people remain confident in victory

In a related context, Lebanese MP Ali Fayyad told Al Mayadeen that the outcomes of the government's plan to assist the displaced have yet to materialize on the ground.

Fayyad also expressed his deep gratitude for the humanitarian, religious, and moral stance taken by the Sisters of Charity in areas hosting displaced people.

Additionally, Lebanese MP Amin Sherri told Al Mayadeen that the displaced individuals have taken a proactive political stance and remain confident in victory.
