Lebanon's Parliament Speaker Vows to Block Israel Framework Deal
Berri said the deal cannot be implemented and warned it could deepen sectarian tensions as Israel links withdrawal to Hezbollah disarmament.
- On Monday, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri rejected the Washington-brokered agreement, warning it aims to "sow discord among the Lebanese" and stating it will not be implemented.
- Signed in Washington on Friday, the agreement mandates Lebanese military control pending Hezbollah's disarmament, enabling Israeli forces to "progressively redeploy out of" southern Lebanon while maintaining operations.
- Senior Hezbollah official Mahmoud Qomati described the accord as "born dead," vowing the group "will not allow it to be implemented" and would "confront it through every possible means."
- Reports indicate a classified annex allows Israeli forces to operate inside a designated "Yellow Line," while legal experts questioned Article 13 for potentially limiting Lebanon's ability to pursue accountability.
- More than a dozen political movements have rejected the accord, including the Amal Movement and the Progressive Socialist Party, extending opposition well beyond Hezbollah across Lebanon's political spectrum.
