Hezbollah commented on the ceasefire reached between Israel and Lebanon, saying conditions must return to what they were prior to March 2.

"A ceasefire must include a comprehensive halt to attacks across all Lebanese territory, with no freedom of movement for Israeli forces, and a return to the situation prior to March 2," Hezbollah's press office said in a statement.

"The continued Israeli occupation of Lebanese territory grants Lebanon and its people the right to resist," Hezbollah said.

Despite Lebanon and Israel reaching a 10-day ceasefire agreement, the Lebanese government is urging people to avoid returning to their homes in southern Lebanon.

According to the United Nations, over 1 million people in Lebanon have been displaced.

"We urge everyone to postpone their return to their towns and villages until the situation becomes clearer, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement," Lebanese House Speaker Nabih Berri said Thursday.

President Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House that the U.S. is "very close" to a deal with Iran.

Negotiators led by Vice President JD Vance met with Iranian leadership Pakistan last weekend for direct negotiations to end the war, but they did not reach an agreement.
