"It is in no ones interest — not Israel's, not the region's, not the world's — for this conflict to spread beyond Gaza."

Hezbollah has signalled it "is willing to go all the way" toward a final border settlement if there's a Gaza cease-fire.

"I am doing my duty to prevent Lebanon from entering the war."

"We were not interested in a conflict. But if Hezbollah does start one, it will finish on Israel's terms."

"I don't know when the war in the north [will happen]. I can tell you that the likelihood of it happening in the coming months is much higher than it was in the past."

"The situation on Israel's northern border demands change... [t]he stopwatch for a diplomatic solution is running out."

"We are shifting from being passive to actively pursuing Hezbollah."

"Netanyahu clearly wants war [with Hezbollah]."

"It is likely that there is going to be a war between Hezbollah and Israel within the next six to eight months."

Lebanon sought a ceasefire extension as a prerequisite for broader negotiations, which would address an Israeli withdrawal, the return of Lebanese detainees held in Israel and a delineation of the land border. Israel has seized a strip of territory along the border, describing it as a buffer zone.
