Deputy political council head Mahmoud Qamati called the framework deal "stillborn," saying it is unenforceable and that there is no need to take the public to the streets. Hezbollah MP Ahab Hamadeh added that the agreement "is worth no more than the paper it's written on," according to Abu Ali Express.
Hezbollah is escalating its verbal assault on the US-mediated framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon, with two senior officials issuing fresh condemnations Sunday evening. Mahmoud Qamati, the organization's deputy political council head, described the deal as "stillborn" and unenforceable, and said the public need not be mobilized against it — a sharp contrast to the angry street protests of recent nights that Hezbollah itself helped fuel.
MP Ahab Hamadeh went further, dismissing the accord as "words on paper" worth nothing. The statements follow a string of similar rejections by Hezbollah lawmakers over the past 48 hours, as the terror group struggles to maintain its opposition to an agreement the Lebanese government has backed — and which Israeli officials assess Iran and Hezbollah will try to sabotage. The Zioneer has reported Hezbollah's repeated disavowals of the deal since Friday; this latest round adds the two senior figures to the chorus of critics but stops short of calling for new protests.
