Hezbollah Chief: We Will Not Surrender to Israel - Shafaq News
Qassem said the U.S.-brokered framework gave Israel everything it wanted after seven rounds of talks and urged officials to reverse the deal.
- On Friday, Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem rejected the US-brokered Lebanon-Israel negotiation framework, denouncing it as "Israeli dictates" that amount to surrender.
- The June 26 framework, reached under pressure from Washington, provides for phased Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and allows the Lebanese Army to "restore effective sovereign authority."
- Qassem accused Lebanese officials of directing pressure at Hezbollah rather than Israel over the past 15 months, asking them to "name a single achievement" from seven rounds of negotiations.
- Despite the Lebanese Army's deployment in Zawtar al-Gharbieh, Israel continues striking infrastructure. US Ambassador Michel Issa claimed today that Israeli attacks would cease only after Hezbollah hands over its weapons.
- Qassem favors the June US-Iran Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, crediting it for the recent cease-fire. Israel occupies a 6-mile "buffer zone" in southern Lebanon, insisting it will not withdraw until Hezbollah is completely disarmed.
