Islamic law only allows for a truce if Muslims are weak and need to gather strength to fight later more effectively, or if they’re fighting non-Muslims whom they think may accept Islam: “If Muslims are weak, a truce may be made for ten years if necessary, for the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) made a truce with the Quraysh for that long, as is related by Abu Dawud…Interests that justify making a truce are such things as Muslim weakness because of lack of numbers or materiel, or the hope of an enemy becoming Muslim…” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o9.16).
This idea is founded on the Qur’an: “So do not falter and cry out for peace when you have the upper hand…” (47:35).
This would, therefore, be the worst time to conclude a ceasefire.
“Decimated Hezbollah says it is ready for cease-fire talks with Israel,” by Ronny Reyes, New York Post, October 8, 2024:
Hezbollah said Tuesday it is now ready to engage in cease-fire talks with Israel, after suffering serious blows to its leadership and ranks in recent months.
The terror group in Lebanon made the announcement after firing more than 100 rockets at the Jewish state hours earlier.
Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general, Naim Qassem, publicly endorsed a truce with Israel, the first such time the terror group has proposed a cease-fire not conditioned on the war in Gaza.
Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem said the group is now open to a cease-fire with Israel.
“We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” Qassem said, according to a CNN translation.
“Once the cease-fire is firmly established and diplomacy can reach it, all other details will be discussed and decisions will be made collaboratively,” he added….

With his forces decimated, Hizballah top dog calls for a ceasefire with Israel
……………………………………….
These Jihadist thugs only want a ceasefire when they are losing and want time to regroup…
mgoldberg says
We never see any msm ask why the muslim nations ask for ‘ceasefires’ rather than actual peace treaties. If they did, the bottom would fall out of the whole game.

Spot on, mgoldberg.

Even “permanent” peace treaty means nothing to Islam, it is regarded as illegitimate because Allah never has peace with non muslims. The peace treaty can be broken at any time once the military is strong enough.
See At Taubah 9:1-9

right on

So true!
Kenneth Birtwistle says
You can NEVER trust these ideological fanatics, islam, Muhammed and Allah being top dog. What needs to happen is surrender by Hezbollah.

Israel should just say no! It’s not Netanyahu’s job to help Kamala win Michigan
Carlos Nunes says
Israel should not bow to terrorists.
Israel should finish the job and help the Iranian people to get rid of the Islamic devil who’s rulling the Country fo over 40 years now.
Paul Cooper says
Agreed, Their religion knows no other avenue but to attack, enslave, rape, and murder in the name of peace, their god because it says so in their “bible”.
Until Western countries realize and accept this, we can expect all atrocities to continue unabated.
Neither your enemy nor any wild animal becomes docile by giving second chances, third, fifth, or 1000 chances.
It’s hardwired into their bible, culture, psyche, and worldview.
WAKE UP…
James Lincoln says
I say, NO cease-fire.
Israel with its IDF needs to keep pounding away at Hizballah – indefinitely.
somehistory says
there are still many foot soldiers….and more in iran who could fill in for the ones dead or injured.
Like the old pr on avoiding drugs, “Just say ‘no’.”
I have the feeling Israel will not agree with the ghouls of hezbollah. Kind of like a football game. The losing team has a safety. The winning team scored 63 and the ball is on the 20, ready to be taken across for the tenth time. Why should they stop now?
FYI says
it wouldn’t be a good idea to invade Israel…
Zecharich 14 v 12
And Jerusalem is out of the question
Zechariah 12 v 9
Jerusalem is not even mentioned once in the koran!
God/Ha Shem kindly gave a prohetic message about Israel{Zechariah chpts 12-14}
allah of the kaaba cult is obviously NOT the Biblical/God.
Biblical prophecy{Joel,Daniel,Zechariah..}was given for a reason
Mike says
This is a sign that Israel should press on!!
Strike while the iron is hot!

“U.S. Frustrated by Israel’s Reluctance to Share Iran Retaliation Plans”
“President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed Israel’s expected military retaliation against Iran in their first call in over a month Wednesday, as the administration seeks to convince its closest Middle East ally not to hit Tehran’s oil facilities or nuclear sites.
…U.S. officials said they don’t yet have either the timing of the strike or what Israel might target.
Last month, Israel carried out a strike against Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah without informing the U.S. ahead of time. The bombing, which took place as Washington was hoping to finalize a cease-fire plan between Israel and Lebanon, surprised senior administration officials.”

Hamas tried the same trick. It is called HUTNAH and according to Islam lies and tricks are part of warfare.
I hope Israel rejects Hezbollah overture for a cease fire. Terror.orgs are not known for their sincerity.
2006: Hezbollah signed UN resolution 1705 I think to disarm and retreat north of the Litany. NEVER HAPPENED! STAND WITH ISRAEL!
Captain Quirk says
Now Benji should go in for the kill! For Iran: blitz Kharg Island to pieces (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kharg_Island) and Natanz and Fordow, the latter two with multiple bunker buster attacks, in order to get deeper and deeper under ground. This would cripple Iran’s economy (oil) and seriously damage its nuke program. What’s more: these actions will not cost many civilian lives: maximum damage, minimum cost!
And maybe try to kill Khamenei himself and possibly Salami.
Luchtpint says
The only prerequisite to stop this war is for Israel to eradicate all muslim terrorists in its vicinity.
5D says
IDF could offer them an opportunity to surrender. Hamas as well….
John Andela says
The believe that Muslems are not to be trusted is unanimous , Iam delighted that Isreal was able gain the upper hand in this conflict
I also believe that Benjamin Netanjahu is no fool and understands his neighbours better then most of us can imagine . Remember this tiny nation is also fighting on our behalf or democratic values Lets give them all the support they are in need of
No Taqiyya says
After firing rockets at Israel for a year now this perfidious individual, wants a ceasefire? This duplicitous man, the one who brazenly denies that Hezballah pushes Captagon because “our religion forbids it” wants a truce?
Bibi must ignore Biden, Harris and all the perfidious lot. They’re brazen liars who want to use Israel to help them with their political sophistry in the comming elections in November.
Bandersnatch says
A “ceasefire”should be considered only after every last shred of Hamas and Hizbollah has been totally destroyed and kept destroyed. Otherwise, history has shown that they will just bide their time until they kill again. Lasting peace will be possible ONLY when the can never rise again.
OLD GUY says
He wants a ceasefire because he wants to use his phone again to look at porn.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Naim Qassem hasn’t yet been hunted down by Israel? They must be getting lax. Or maybe they’ve turned their attention to Iran?
James Lincoln says
Israel should tell Hizballah that they need to surrender unconditionally.
Hizballah will not do this.
Then Israel should respond publicly with this:
“There will be no cease-fire without an unconditional surrender by Hizballah.”
Hizballah will then be painted into a corner.
