Hezbollah MP Hussein al-Hajj Hassan said the framework deal signed overnight between Israel and Lebanon is "surrender, not an agreement," adding that his party does not recognize it and it will not be implemented, according to Abu Ali Express.
Hezbollah MP Hussein al-Hajj Hassan on Saturday rejected the framework agreement signed overnight between Israel and Lebanon, calling it "surrender, not an agreement," and asserting it will not be implemented. The statement, carried by Abu Ali Express, reinforces Hezbollah's formal position of non-recognition of any accord with Israel — a stance the organization has maintained throughout the negotiations.
As The Zioneer reported, Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah said earlier Saturday that the Lebanese government lacks the tools to enforce the deal and warned against civil war. The organization's leadership has repeatedly stated it is not bound by the framework, with Hezbollah ministers remaining in the cabinet while opposing the pact. The latest remarks deepen the public rift between Hezbollah and the Lebanese government, which has backed the U.S.-mediated agreement.
