The ongoing war between Hezbollah and Israel has been characterized by a clear delineation of goals from both sides, as emphasized by Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary-General, Sheikh Naim Qassem.
"We will end the war when all our objectives have been met. The main goal is to achieve a ceasefire," he stated.
Sheikh Qassem's comments followed the visit of Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Lebanon on October 3, just days after the tripartite meeting from Ain el-Tineh, which called for an immediate ceasefire and the implementation of UN Resolution 1701, along with the election of a new president for Lebanon.
