Israel, Lebanon ceasefire "not worth the paper it's written on" as Hezbollah rejects terms

A US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is already on the rocks. 

Hezbollah is rejecting terms, calling them "futile" and "humiliating". 

The armed militant group says the proposal is tantamount to surrender as Israeli strikes continue in southern Lebanon. 

The comments come after Israel and Lebanon announced a renewal of their fragile deal. 

Former US Army Major General Randy Manner told Heather du Plessis-Allan ceasefires haven't been holding, but even an attempt needs Hezbollah's backing. 

He says any two-way agreement that doesn't include the powerful third party isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
