July 10, Beirut: In the current ceasefire talks between the Israeli military and its formidable adversaries, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other groups like the Houthis, Syed Hasan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, reaffirmed the stance and significance of Hamas. Speaking for itself and the Palestinian groups, as well as the entire Axis of Resistance, Syed said, “Hamas is negotiating on its behalf.” While attending the late Hezbollah Commander’s Mourning Ceremony Through television address, he said, “What Hamas accepts, we all accept.”

Hamas accepted the phased approach ceasefire backed by the United States with approval, and that set off a series of events. According to Hamas and Egyptian officials on Saturday, the sides had been negotiating for weeks before reaching this ceasefire proposal.

However, Hezbollah is in no way going to stop operating in southern Lebanon, where it targets Israeli soldiers with strategic strikes, at least not for the time being.

Regional politics is affected by this series of events, as the Axis of Resistance was formed as a result of years of Iranian support for resistance against American influence in the Middle East and Israel.

Both the Houthis of Yemen and Shi’ite armed groups in Iraq are included. The other faction in the situation is Israel, the U.S., and its allies, who are closely monitoring the situation.

The United States and France have taken the lead in diplomatic attempts to reach an agreement that would stop the war between Israel and Hezbollah from getting worse.

According to Nasrallah, “If there is a ceasefire in Gaza, then our front will also cease-fire without discussion, irrespective of any other agreement, mechanism, or mechanism or negotiation.”.

Simultaneously, Nasrallah issued a warning, citing Hezbollah’s increasing barrage of missiles and drones fired at Israel as proof that the organization was prepared for and did not fear conflict.

The advent of Masoud Pezeshkian as the new president of the Islamic Republic of Iran poses new dynamics for complex regional politics, as the former heart surgeon has been renounced for his reformist approach and the presidential elect had reestablished diplomatic ties with the Western world to reinstate the already weakened economy within his election campaign.

The election was called in response to President Ebrahim Raisi’s tragic death in a helicopter crash, and reformist Pezeshkian defeated Saeed Jalili, a former nuclear negotiator.

Still, the odds might be with the Axis resistance, as on Monday, the ex-heart surgeon and the new Presidential Elect affirmed his support to Hezbollah and his loyalty to the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.

The outcome of the election, according to Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, was a “clear message of demand for change and opposition” from the Iranian people.

Nasrallah congratulated Pezeshkian on his election win on Saturday and emphasized Tehran’s position as a “strong” backer of local “resistance” organizations. The series of discussions by the international community has been a vital intervention but a formal decision on a ceasefire is still far away.
