Hezbollah Rejects Extension of U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire Between Israel and Lebanon

HeadlineJun 05, 2026

Israeli attacks across Lebanon have killed at least six people so far today, despite the announcement of an extension of the U.S.-brokered so-called ceasefire. The agreement between Israeli and Lebanese diplomats seeks to create zones inside Lebanon in which Hezbollah operatives would be banned. Hezbollah has not been part of the negotiations, which the group’s leader Naim Qassem has rejected as a “farce.” On Thursday, Qassem also warned of more retaliatory attacks unless Israel agrees to a comprehensive ceasefire and withdraws from southern Lebanon. Over 3,500 people have now been killed and more than 10,000 injured in Israeli strikes on Lebanon since early March.

Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers have voted down a resolution seeking to block U.S. military support for Israel’s assault on Lebanon. On Thursday, 91 House Democrats joined nearly all Republicans in a vote of 324 to 92 to defeat the resolution authored by Michigan Congressmember Rashida Tlaib, who forced the vote over what she called Israel’s “genocidal war on Lebanon.”
