Hezbollah Lebanon leader: We only care about a complete ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal

Oil tumbled after positive deal comments from Trump but now we have the leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon pushing back hard.

• Negotiations with Israel are ‘shameless’
• Washington’s announcement is a ‘roadmap to annihilate part of the Lebanese people’
• Ceasefire with Israel should include south of Lebanon
• As long as Israel is in Lebanon, the resistance will continue
• As long as our villages are being bombed and our people killed, Northern Israel will not be safe
• We refuse any link between our presence and a ceasefire or Israel’s withdrawal

Hezbollah chief says any ceasefire must include southern Lebanon, warns ‘resistance’ will continue as long as Israeli forces remain, and says northern Israel will not be secure while Lebanese villages are under attack. Oil has bounced from the lows as his comments get a wider airing but is still down $3.
