Mohammad Raad, head of the Hezbollah parliamentary bloc, accused the Lebanese government of acting beyond shame and malice, saying it has surrendered Lebanon's sovereignty and rights. He called the government's stance a deception and a forgery of the national will, according to N12.
Mohammad Raad, head of Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc, issued a sharp condemnation of the Lebanese government's current political course in a statement carried by N12 on Saturday evening. Raad charged that the government's position exceeds 'shame and malice,' amounting to a surrender of Lebanon's sovereignty and the rights and interests of the Lebanese people. He described the government's approach as a 'deception and forgery of our free national will.'
The statement continues a pattern of escalating Hezbollah rhetoric against Beirut's engagement with diplomatic frameworks. As The Zioneer has reported, Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem earlier this month dismissed US-brokered talks as 'absurd and shameful' and formally rejected any ceasefire while Israeli operations continue. Raad's remarks, while not specifying a particular government decision, appear to fit that broader campaign against any diplomatic process that does not center Hezbollah's demands. The Lebanese government has not yet responded to the accusation.
