Security analyst Ali Rizk told Al Jazeera that there is no consensus in Lebanon on the newly announced ceasefire with Israel, as the country remains divided by a very deep political divide.
Nabih Berri, the speaker of parliament and leader of Amal, holds a large following among the Shiite majority and has supported Hezbollah in its opposition to negotiating a ceasefire with Israel.
Meanwhile, President Joseph Aoun this week led Lebanon's first direct negotiations with Israel since 1983 and may also accept Trump's invitation for further talks in the US.
"A big part of the focus in the talks in Washington was disarming Hezbollah, so this is seen here in Lebanon as more than just normalization, but as an anti-Hezbollah agenda ," Rizk said.
The ceasefire announced by Trump has not been well received in Israel either. Trump's announcement, which came as a foreign "dictate", is seen by many Israelis as a national disgrace, as the government and most of the public opinion wanted the war against Hezbollah to continue until the military objectives were achieved.
