Naim Kassem, Nasrallah’s former deputy, admitted Hezbollah’s military distress by calling for an ‘unconditional’ ceasefire; Israel demands Hezbollah disarm and pull back beyond the Litani River
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Yesterday he “unconditionally” demanded Israel put down weapons first. Now he is separating from Gaza’s war…

Israel’s response is just like UNSC Resolution 1701, that ended the 2006 Lebanon War. The one that Hassan Nasrallah swore Hezbollah would respect, back in the day. Sadly, he can’t swear again to respect it now.

That’s one message. See here for a different one. And then there is pressure from Iran, according to the Times of Israel:
According to a Channel 12 report on Tuesday citing unnamed sources in Beirut, Iran is pushing Hezbollah to seek out a ceasefire deal in order to "cut its losses" after a long list of brass hats in the group have been killed in recent weeks.

Visiting Beirut on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Tehran backs efforts for a ceasefire in Leb
 on the condition it would be backed by Hezbollah and be simultaneous with a ceasefire in the Gazoo Strip.

US State Department front man Matthew Miller said Tuesday that Qassem’s public backing of ceasefire efforts shows that Hezbollah is "on the back foot and is getting battered," leading the group to "change their tune."
