Hezbollah has rejected a US-backed ceasefire proposal announced in Washington, saying it cannot accept terms it views as a violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty.


The group says the proposed framework places unacceptable conditions on its military role, including provisions it considers linked to unilateral disarmament.


According to reports, the plan ties a halt in hostilities in southern Lebanon to restrictions on Hezbollah’s military activities, a key point of contention between both sides.


The rejection comes as cross-border exchanges between Hezbollah and Israeli forces continue along the Lebanon-Israel frontier.


Recent weeks have seen intensified fighting, with strikes and counterstrikes raising concerns over a broader regional escalation.


Diplomatic efforts led by the United States and regional partners have been ongoing, aimed at securing a ceasefire and reducing tensions.


However, deep disagreements remain, with both sides holding firm on core security and political demands.


Washington has continued to urge negotiations, warning that continued escalation risks further destabilizing the region.


Hezbollah maintains that any agreement must respect Lebanon’s sovereignty and internal balance.


For now, the situation remains fragile, with no breakthrough yet in talks and fighting continuing on the ground.
