Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah addresses Prime Minister Netanyahu directly, saying he reached an agreement with parties that have no authority over Lebanese territory, according to Abu Ali Express. The statement escalates Hezbollah's campaign against the emerging Israel-Lebanon framework deal, following a series of warnings from the group.
Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah on Friday night issued a direct warning to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating that Israel has reached an agreement with parties that have no authority over Lebanese soil. The statement, reported by Abu Ali Express, is the latest in a series of escalating remarks from Fadlallah against the nascent Israel-Lebanon framework deal.
Fadlallah's previous statements on Friday set the stage: he earlier told Al-Mayadeen that Lebanese authorities could not enforce any agreement unless they started a civil war with U.S. support, and he accused the U.S.-Israel deal of being designed to disrupt a parallel Iran-U.S. understanding. The group's formal response earlier in the day called for scrapping the framework agreement entirely.
The MP's address to Netanyahu directly — by name on-record — signals an intensifying political campaign by Hezbollah, whose ministers remain part of Lebanon's government, to frame the deal as lacking internal legitimacy. No response from Israeli officials has been reported so far.
