Hezbollah said that it supports the stance that Hamas, in coordination with the rest of the Palestinian Resistance factions, took regarding Trump's proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Hezbollah said that a sincere stance aimed at ending the aggression demonstrates a strong adherence to the core principles of the Palestinian cause and a refusal to compromise the rights of the Palestinian people.
"While their position is driven by a profound duty to stop the brutal Israeli aggression against the people in Gaza, it also reaffirms commitment to the core principles of the Palestinian cause, and that [the Palestinian Resistance] will not compromise the rights of the Palestinian people," Hezbollah stated.
Additionally, the group noted that the Palestinian factions' stance embodies their commitment to the Palestinian people's unity and relies on the Palestinian national consensus as the framework upon which negotiations will proceed.
Hezbollah emphasized that the talks must lead to a full withdrawal of the Israeli occupation Army, prevent the expulsion of the Palestinian people in Gaza, and enable Palestinians to administer themselves on the political, security, and livelihood fronts, rejecting any foreign trusteeship in any form.
Concluding its statement, Hezbollah called on all Arab and Islamic nations to "stand firmly behind the Palestinian people and the position of Hamas and all Palestinian resistance factions.
The Lebanese Resistance urged comprehensive support for the efforts to halt the Israeli aggression against Gaza and the West Bank, prevent the displacement of Palestinians, achieve the reconstruction of Gaza, and restore all the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people.
Israel agreed to initial withdrawal line, pending Hamas stance: Trump
This closely follows an announcement by US President Donald Trump earlier on Sunday, declaring that "Israel" agreed to an initial withdrawal line in Gaza as part of ongoing negotiations towards a cessation of hostilities in the territory.
In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed that the proposal, which had been shared with Hamas and is awaiting confirmation for an immediate ceasefire and a concurrent captive and prisoner exchange, would also establish the conditions for the subsequent phase of withdrawal, moving the war toward the conclusion of what he termed "this 3,000-year catastrophe."
US President Donald Trump revealed on Saturday that negotiations for a ceasefire and captives' release in the Gaza Strip are nearing completion. In a statement to Axios, Trump said he expects the deal to be finalized "within days" and described his direct involvement in pushing all parties, most notably "Israel" and Hamas, toward an agreement.
"I said, 'Bibi, this is your chance for victory.' He was fine with it. He has to be," Trump stated, referencing his conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "With me, you got to be fine."
"Israel's" genocidal war on Gaza, now nearing its two-year mark, may be heading toward a resolution, with Trump's remarks indicating the most significant diplomatic breakthrough in months.
