Hussein al-Hajj Hassan said Article 13 of the agreement stops all hostile actions in international political and legal arenas, effectively granting Israel immunity from prosecution. He called the deal a 'surrender and disgrace' and a 'stain of shame' on those who signed it, according to Abu Ali Express.
Hezbollah MP Hussein al-Hajj Hassan on Sunday attacked the legal waiver clause in the U.S.-brokered framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel, calling it a 'surrender and disgrace' that grants Israel immunity from prosecution. According to Abu Ali Express, the MP specifically criticized Article 13, which he said halts all hostile actions in international political and legal arenas, and described the deal as a 'stain of shame' on those who signed it.
The framework agreement, signed in late June, has been met with strong opposition from Hezbollah. The Zioneer has previously reported on the party's rejection of the deal, including statements from Hassan himself and other officials. Hezbollah argues the agreement is one-sided and favors Israel, and has vowed to work against its implementation.
The specific legal waiver clause has been a focal point of Hezbollah's criticism, as it effectively prevents the party from pursuing legal action against Israel in international forums. The MP's statement was reported by Abu Ali Express on Sunday afternoon.
