BEIRUT: Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem expressed hope on Sunday for an agreement between his group’s backer Iran and the United States and that Lebanon would be part of its terms.
“God willing, this agreement will be finalized and there are signs of its completion, and accordingly that we too will be among those included in this agreement — an agreement of a full cessation of hostilities,” he said in a televised address.
