A ceasefire must be implemented before Hezbollah would be willing to negotiate, Hezbollah MP Hassan Ezzedine told Al-Mayadeen on Sunday.
Ezzedine also claimed to have recently met with displaced people in shelters to check on their conditions, saying that they were supportive of Hezbollah's actions.
The same Hezbollah official told The Times in October that the Lebanese people stood behind Hezbollah's war against Israel. Other civilians speaking to the outlet stated the opposite.
“It created a true Lebanese unity, together against the war,” he claimed.
Who is Hassan Ezzedine?
The vocal Shiite sheikh first ran as a Hezbollah political official in 1992, according to Hezbollah.org. He has since served as Hezbollah’s chief spokesman and head of its central media relations unit.
His work over the last decade has reportedly focused on extending the terror group's reach into Africa.
