Does Hezbollah or “Hezbollah Military Media” have a website? I would rather check the official source rather than quotes from third party media.
Issues that stand out to me –
From the article from almanar about the ceasefire
https://english.almanar.com.lb/2271172
“In his latest speech, Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem stressed that Speaker Nabih Berri is leading Lebanon’s talks, along with PM Najib Mikati.”
If Al-Manar is to be believed, then Hezbollah is putting forth Nabih Berri and Najib Mikati to act as their proxies. This means Hezbollah is in effect agreeing to the ceasefire as Western MSM suggests, which is in contradiction to Fred’s view that Hezbollah would never agree to a ceasefire without achieving their goals.
From western msm
https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-israel-lebanon-hezbollah-war-ceasefire-ce56620463c579a33a4d8b03de035ae3
“Hezbollah had long insisted that it would not agree to a ceasefire until the war in Gaza ends, but it has now dropped that condition.”
This is a huge development if Hezbollah is giving up the struggle in Palestine, as this is the main basis for the conflict in the first place. I hate to say it, but it would mean Israel’s strategy of assassinating resistance leaders has been successful if the next leader is just going to be a “reformer” that folds to Israeli demands.

Wrong.
Putting forth negotiators does not equal agreeing to a ceasefire.
In fact:
Not even Hezbollah agreeing to a ceasefire means “agreeing to a ceasefire”.
A ceasefire really only happens when Netanyahu cries “Uncle!”.
And that means a defeat for ‘Israel’ and that cannot be accepted by the Empire and that in turn means a ceasefire will never happen.
It’s all just “diplomatic musical chairs” in the end.

Well no offence that sounds like copium, akin to the Ukrainian flavour. If this ceasefire pans out then Hezbollah has cried uncle before Israel.
Nominating Nabih Berri and Najib Mikati as proxies is a bad sign in the first place. They’re ones who made the Lebanese government and military useless as a sovereign actor and why Lebanon panders to US and Israeli interests. Right now only Hezbollah is defending Lebanese sovereignty in the face of Israeli aggression, not the Lebanese government and certainly not the co-opted Lebanese military. But if Hezbollah gives up as well then the whole of Lebanon would turn into a US vassal.
Nabih Berri says he is working on ‘a plan to save Lebanon’
https://today.lorientlejour.com/article/1432128/nabih-berri-says-he-is-working-on-a-plan-to-save-lebanon.html
Berri’s plan is to implement UN Resolution 1701. What is UN Resolution 1701?
https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/10/1155221
* Full implementation of the relevant provisions of the Taif Accords and of resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1680 (2006), requiring the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon, so there will be no weapons or authority in country other than that of the Lebanese State – Aka disarmament of Hezbollah
* Full respect by both parties for the Blue Line and security arrangements to prevent the resumption of hostilities, including an area free of any armed personnel, assets and weapons other than those of the Lebanese authorities and UNIFIL between the Blue Line and the Litani River. – and withdraw of Hezbollah forces.
The new Hezbollah leader appointing this guy to lead their negotiations is basically waving the white flag.
This is all premised, of course on what the Al-Manar article says is true. I hope this is not the case, hence my question about whether there are more official outlets for Hezbollah’s positions.

Accusations of ‘copium’ aside, let’s look at the actual facts on the ground:
1. Hezbollah has always had negotiators ready to negotiate ceasefires, from the very start of the conflict. As has Putin.
2. As we speak, as these ‘ceasefire negotiations’ proceed (apparently), Hezbollah is firing *missiles* into Haifa and Tel Aviv. Putin is firing missiles into Ukraine.
3. A ceasefire, honoured by both sides, would be a defeat for Israel and the West, regardless of whether Hezbollah asks for it or not. Because:
3.1 The ceasefire would require Israel to pull out of the South Lebanon UNR 1701 region (if they don’t Hezbollah will simply keep attacking them).
3.2 The ceasefire would enable Hezbollah to re-arm, gather intel on IDF positions, re-plan attack strategies
3.3 Ceasefire would require IDF to stop it’s activities in Gaza, since Hezbollah links the ceasefire to Gaza
3.4 Ceasefire in Lebanon without ceasefire in Gaza means IDF keeps dying in Gaza while Hezbollah rebuilds it’s forces in Lebanon. This will drive pressure for the IDF to break the ceasefire again in Lebanon.
4. A ceasefire denied would simply mean business as usual. Hezbollah keeps firing regardless. Tel Aviv keeps burning.
See how the empirical logic works? The underlying dynamics of the situation don’t allow a ceasefire in Israel’s favour.
And if Israel accepts a ceasefire proposed by Hezbollah, then it can only mean that they’re exhausted as well. Which means defeat for Israel.
So:
All outcomes under the label of “ceasefire” represent a defeat for Israel. A victory for Hezbollah.

That position is optimistic but very Ukrainian like. Not sure if you yourself are aware of the similarities.
At the beginning the Ukrainian position was to recover Crimea, but now Crimea has been dropped totally from conversation. At the beginning the Hezbollah position was to stop the Gaza genocide, but now Gaza has been dropped.
Resolution 1701 calls for disarmament of Hezbollah remember? How is Hezbollah going to build up their forces if the US puppet they’ve selected to represent them is so eager to enforce it? It speaks volumes that Hezbollah is even entertaining such an idea.
The way to victory for the resistance as outlined by Yahya Sinwar is to apply constant pressure on Israeli society until the Israeli government collapses and make the expansionist settler population change their minds organically.
All this ceasefire does is relieve Israel of this pressure to focus their military on Hamas and continue their ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank without needing to worry about attacks from the north.

Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺 @ejmalrai
What happened on Sunday and in the last 48 hours in southern Lebanon was enough to convince the war criminal Netanyahu that his war was pointless and that he had better end it before collecting more body bags for his soldiers, hence the ceasefire.
https://ejmagnier.com/2024/11/25/hezbollahs-retaliation-challenges-israels-confidence-in-military-superiority/
Since the United Nations recognised Israel in 1948, it has never faced such intense missile strikes, nor has it seen half of its eight million settlers-citizens rush to shelters. In a historic turn of events, Israel’s economic capital, Tel Aviv, was bombed three times with 17 missiles in a single day. This unprecedented escalation followed Israel’s bombing of Beirut, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of dozens of civilians despite the absence of any Hezbollah military commander in the targeted building.
Hezbollah seized this opportunity to impose its rules of deterrence, as articulated by its Secretary-General, Sheikh Naim Qassem. In response, Hezbollah launched sustained missile and drone strikes on Israel, demonstrating its ability to enforce a deterrence equation designed to influence Israeli consciousness and expose the growing power of Hezbollah. This force continues to defy efforts to “eliminate” it, both within and outside Lebanon….

I’m far from being as well informed as some of you, exile, Arch Bungle, Michael72, and others, but to me this so called cease fire smells a lot like the Minsk Agreement. As y’all recall, France and Germany promised to enforce the agreement, but did nothing. Later Merkel and Macron admitted, or was it bragged? that they never had any intention of keeping the agreement but were just buying time for country 404.
Why should anyone trust them now? Or Murika, currently ruled by zionist murderers who will soon be replaced by another set of zionist murderers. As Aleida Guevarra remarked recently, same dog – different collar. Let’s remember who owns Reuters. Hint. They wear tiny hats. And they have buckets of bucks for bribes.
Meanwhile the suffering in Gaza continues. The horror continues. When UN supply services have unrestricted access I’ll believe there may be a chance for peace. For which I daily pray.

I’ll say this for you – you are consistent – and argument is plausible.
IDF ground forces have failed to enter Southern Lebanon.
All they can do is bomb, bomb, bomb from the safety of the skies.
Would you sign up to this? Katz this morning:
Israeli media reports that Israel Katz, the recently appointed Israeli defense minister, has told UN special envoy for Lebanon Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert that Israel will continue to act against threats even in the event of a ceasefire agreement.
He is quoted as saying:
“We will act against any threat, anytime and anywhere. Every house in southern Lebanon that is rebuilt and in which a terrorist base is established will be demolished, every rearming and regrouping by terrorists will be attacked, every attempt to smuggle weapons will be thwarted, and every threat to our forces or Israeli citizens will be immediately destroyed.”
Katz promised that Israel would show “zero tolerance” for any breach of an agreement, saying that if UN peackeeping forces and the Lebanese army could not enforce the terms and conditions of a deal with Hezbollah then “we will. And with great force.”
Let’s wait and see.

Same as Nato could only be brought to semisubmission by a combination of Russia and China’s hypersonic and nuclear weapons , plus conventional warfare, any Arab country sending troops against Israel would be flattened by US bombs without that deterrent.
This is a reckless strategy for the US , and the USUKISEU confederacy is bankrupt morally. US WMD in Gaza and Lebanon have destroyed all US credibility.

Berri (pro-Resistance) is the Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, and Mikati (oligarch) is the PM. Since Hezbollah tries to operate within the Lebanese national consensus, these two are ‘nationally acceptable’ negotiators. Likely Berri will veto whatever capitulationist nonsense Mikati puts forward..
Posted by: LongT1me | Nov 26 2024 16:13 utc | 140
Berri is not pro resistance. He just pretends to be. He is a two faced politician that operates by playing both sides just like Erdogan. As one of the longest serving political leaders in Lebanon he is very much responsible for the current dysfunctional state of the Lebanese government.
Go read through this wikileaks cable and see how happy he is describing Israeli attacks against Hizballah as like honey and a positive development:
https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/06BEIRUT2407_a.html
Or about the corruption of the Amal movement that he is the head of:
https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/04BEIRUT4941_a.html
Here’s an example of him spilling all the details of Lebanese parliament to the US ambassador and outright asking for US interference in Lebanese politics:
https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/07BEIRUT655_a.html
Ever notice how so many Lebanese politicians seemingly get killed or sanctioned by the US or Israel, yet Berri somehow is never touched?
Watch this Brian Berletic video about how US regime change agents conduct themselves. Look how similar Berri’s behaviour is to the US puppet that recently overthrew Bangladesh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxEWlwmt2yM
I would bet my money that Berri had a hand in leaking Nasrallah’s location to Israel. Remember Berri’s son was outed for doing the same. It would all fit nicely into his pet project to ‘save Lebanon’ by getting rid of Hizballah and implementing UN Resolution 1701 with US support.

* Strictly speaking the still vague agreement contemplated is better termed a ‘cessation of hostilities’ than a ‘ceasefire’ – projected to commence on Wednesday, 10:00 am local Beirut time. All expect as is its habit, that USrael will increase the ferocity of its barbaric attacks upon civilians until any such agreement takes effect.

Netanyahu just said something about the “ceasefire deal” with Lebanon, but it sounds like he is actually (surprise!) talking about a private deal between the US and Israel regarding Lebanon. Netanyahu does not mention Hezbollah agreeing to anything.
This is from current Middleeasteye, and includes a new tweet from Al-jazeera:
————
Netanyahu refers to deal with US not Hezbollah as he warns of further attacks
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of further attacks on Lebanon, suggesting the US has given Israel the green light for “complete freedom of military action” as needed. 
The comments appear to flout the reported details of the impending ceasefire deal, in which both Israel and Hezbollah are meant to stand down from “offensive” actions.
Netanyahu also seems to indicate that this portion is specifically a US-Israeli agreement, which casts doubt on the longevity of a ceasefire with Hezbollah should it indeed go into effect. 
Al-Jazeera Tweet (translation): Netanyahu: By understanding with the United States, we maintain full freedom of military action and if Hezbollah violates the agreement, we will attack.

@157 Giyane
It is fearful, because those who arrange that way somehow work with existing perceptions and differences and manage to amplify them to the point where the projected idea is all those being subjected to that practice are able to see.
In hypnotism there is something called ‘star power’ apparently. I once visited a hypnotist show (this was in Australia), and it consisted of inviting audience on stage and having them behave in ridiculous ways. At start I could hardly believe people were being hypnotised so easily, but even actors could not behave like they were. Of course it was amusing in a way, but I didn’t find it funny though…the rest of the audience did.
The whole show then took on the air of something surreal. It was in a big theatre with several hundred people watching, and I ended up watching the audience instead of the show. It was as though the whole audience was hypnotised, laughing when they were supposed to. The laughter could be seen to ‘travel across’ the audience, like a wave faster than any human reaction. It was as though a suggestion was given out and the audience took it up, were attentive to play their part.
It was a very strange experience.
Often watching a film at cinema people come out altered, and it is possible to relate to that as just entertaining an experience in their own way that is known to be invented (an acted film for example). In this show however it was all for real, and so the ‘alteredness’ of the people had a depth to it that was disturbing.
Just an anecdote.
………
When someone finds a person weaving a story around them usually they are offended or repulsed. However often there are fundamental sentiments that are or have become so entrenched that a person is not able to question their own reactions to them. These could be considered ‘blind spots’ to our consciousness, but in fact these are usually very moral positions or understandings (for example outrage at seeing someone hurt another). Those who look for power and control have learned to manipulate these sentiments in others to their own ends.

Everyone should support ending the carnage in Lebanon.
The terms of the ceasefire agreement have not been made public, just unverified bits and pieces.
Why debate something that is actually unknown.
The Zionist criminals have not achieved their goals. They have been defeated by Hezbollah.
Ignore the malicious claims about Berri. He is a time tested very important Lebanese politician devoted to the best interests of Lebanon who enjoys the full trust of Hezbollah.
Hamas has clearly stated that they support a ceasefire in Lebanon, and that the Resistance is in constant coordination.Hamas will not be left alone.
As usual, the US will take credit for stopping the conflict which, conflict, would not have been possible without its comprehensive substantial support. Beating itself in the chest as the great power and great peacemaker (actually a great ape) before the world and its own public – always the same miserable spectacle that has worked every time.
The US does not intend to, and will not bring anything good to Lebanon.
We have yet to see the terms of this agreement, and what will come of it.

Wall Street Embraces MBS’s Money Man
After the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, business leaders made a show of shunning Saudi Arabia, doing deals only behind closed doors. Now it’s all out in the open.
Jonathan Guyer
n November 14, Wall Street feted Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the head of Saudi Arabia’s nearly $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund and a close confidante of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (MBS). At Cipriani—a private members’ club at 55 Wall Street—bright flowers at the center of the tables matched the ruby-red drapes. This gala, thrown by the Business Council for International Understanding, was a mark of the massive volume of Saudi investment capital percolating through the American economy. That itself isn’t new, but in recent years it’s become clear that the shame associated with Saudi funding in the wake of the grisly 2018 murder and dismemberment of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi has faded. Few seemed to even notice that the governor of the Saudi Public Investment Fund—which a Senate subcommittee is currently investigating for undue foreign influence in the fund’s seemingly hostile takeover of the PGA golf Tour—was receiving an award in Manhattan.
On stage in Cipriani’s Greek revival ballroom, the president of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, presented Al-Rumayyan with a large crystal paperweight. Sitting with them at the long head table was HuffPo founder Arianna Huffington, and among the hundreds of minglers making their way through the room were hedge-fund titan Ray Dalio, Hollywood superagent Ari Emanuel, former Trump adviser Dina Powell McCormick, and Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.

There are certain constants in the world.
Death, taxes, Zionists lies and the Zionist entity’s “cease fire” ploys.

Bibi’s stated reasons for accepting ceasefire: Netanyahu: So why establish a ceasefire now?
There are three main reasons:
The first reason – focus on the threat of Iran and I cant and will not explain more about it.
The second reason – the complete renewal of forces and I will tell you openly, because it is not a secret: there is a major delay in the supply of weapons and ammunition. This delay will be resolved soon. We will equip ourselves with advanced warfare tools that will save the lives of our soldiers and give us extra power to complete our missions.
And the third reason for the ceasefire is to cut off the arenas and isolate Hamas. From the second day of the war, Hezbollah came to the aid of Hamas to fight alongside it. this ceasefire will help the holy mission of freeing our captives.

An example of the kind of propaganda occuring within Lebanon :
“The majority of the Lebanese now consider the heavily armed and Iran backed militia as the biggest threat to Lebanon’s sovereignty
Watching Marcel Ghanem’s TV show last week reminded the Lebanese how divided Lebanon remains. Listening to a Hezbollah advocate, many couldn’t help but feel that the Lebanese people may face greater danger after the war between Israel and Hezbollah ends than during the conflict itself. History shows that Hezbollah does not hesitate to turn its weapons inward. If it loses a war with Israel, the consequences for Lebanon’s civilian population could be devastating, as they have been in the past.
Many in Lebanon are calling for an expanded role for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to protect them from Hezbollah, which remains the only armed militia in Lebanon.”

A civil war would actually have been the smarter move. The current Lebanese government is like the Vichy government of France or the KMT government of China. Hezbollah was powerful enough to take total control of Lebanon but did not do so. By choosing to work with snakes like Nabih Berri instead of excising them, it resulted in a situation where their internal security was compromised and information about their leadership was leaked to the enemy.
Now, you have a situation where Hezbollah is signing a ceasefire with Israel without achieving any of its aims to stop Israeli activities in Gaza.
So Nabih Berri got his way exactly as planned. Hezbollah is weakened. The Israeli assassination campaign was successful.
Incredibly despite all that, I see Ukrainian levels of copium trying to spin this as some sort of Hezbollah win.
Take an objective assessment of the realities on the ground people: This is not a win by any means. Mistakes were made.

Once started, I don’t give this “ceasefire” 2 weeks.
Israel wants to conquer Palestine by turning it into a parking lot similar to what it has done in Gaza.
Nasrallah negotiated a ceasefire, and then the Zionists murdered him.
One assumes the Lebanese government knows this.

For sure Hezbollah remembers her martyrs.
From Donbass Devushka: “Hezbollah: The Resistance Operations Room announces that one of the sensitive military targets that was targeted on 11-18-2024 in Tel Aviv was the residence of the enemy’s Air Force Commander, Major General Tomar Bar, with a squadron of special drones. The operation achieved its goals precisely, amidst the imposition of strict restrictions by the Israeli military censorship on the incident.”
