Hezbollah said Saturday morning that Israel's course of action following the signing of a framework agreement is leading Lebanon toward civil war. The accusation escalates the group's months-long rhetorical campaign against both the Israeli government and the Lebanese political establishment.
Hezbollah issued a new statement Saturday morning accusing Israel of steering Lebanon toward civil war, in what appears to be the group’s first response to the formal signing of the Israel-Lebanon framework deal. The statement, attributed to an unnamed source within Hezbollah, claims the Israeli government is using the agreement to destabilize internal Lebanese relations and provoke intercommunal conflict.
The accusation is part of a months-long escalation in Hezbollah’s rhetoric against both Israel and the Lebanese government. As The Zioneer has reported, Hezbollah has repeatedly condemned the framework negotiations, labeling them a surrender to American and Israeli interests, and has warned its ministers in the cabinet against supporting any deal. The Lebanese foreign minister has publicly described Hezbollah as an “unlawful military organization” and an “Iranian arm,” reflecting deepening internal divisions. The group has also threatened to destroy Israeli forces in Lebanon if the agreement is violated.
The statement provides no specific actions or evidence for the civil-war claim. It remains unconfirmed by independent sources or official Israeli channels.
