Hezbollah chief rejects Israel-Lebanon deal, calls it a 'humiliation'
Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said on Saturday that the Israel-Lebanon framework agreement signed in Washington is “null,” a “humiliation” and a surrender of sovereignty, and should be replaced by the Iran-US memorandum.
Qassem said in a statement that any attempt to link Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon to the group’s disarmament crossed “all red lines.”
“We say to the Lebanese authorities, it is time for you to retract your sins that are destroying Lebanon,” Qassem asserted.
The United States, Israel, and Lebanon signed the trilateral framework agreement aimed at combating Iran-backed Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah on Friday, after days of US-mediated talks in Washington.
According to a US State Department statement, the agreement outlines a structured process for disarming Hezbollah, dismantling terrorist infrastructure, and enabling the IDF to withdraw from Lebanon in phases as the threat posed by Hezbollah is removed.
