Hezbollah’s new leader Naim Qassem said on Wednesday that while the Iran-backed militant group would not “beg for a ceasefire”, it was open to one from Israel if certain terms were met. Qassem’s first speech since taking over came as Israel’s security cabinet met to discuss a possible truce, but also as Israel attacked the eastern Lebanese city of Baalbek and said it had killed another senior Hezbollah commander.
