Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem on Sunday demanded a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, accusing Israel of deceiving negotiators and the IDF of committing war crimes, according to The Jerusalem Post.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem on Sunday evening demanded that Israel fully withdraw from Lebanon, accusing the IDF of war crimes and saying Israel is trying to deceive negotiators. The statement, reported by The Jerusalem Post, comes as talks over the ongoing confrontation remain deadlocked. As The Zioneer reported Sunday evening, Qassem had earlier rejected any ceasefire that gives Israel freedom of action, calling it a 'continuation of aggression.' The posture is consistent with Hezbollah's long-standing position: over the past weeks Qassem has described US-brokered negotiations as 'absurd,' dismissed participants in Washington as unrepresentative, and accused Israel of seeking to eliminate Hezbollah socially and militarily. There is no indication of any shift in Hezbollah's negotiating stance.
