Rome, June 27 (LaPresse) – The leader of Hezbollah, Naim Qassem, has described the framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel—mediated by the United States—as “humiliating and shameful,” calling it a “renunciation of sovereignty.” The remarks were reported by Lebanese broadcaster Al Mayadeen. According to Qassem, the agreement is “null and void,” while what should be implemented instead are “the provisions of the memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States.” “We have not left the field even in the most difficult circumstances and we will not abandon it,” he said. “It is time for the Lebanese authorities to repent for their sin that is destroying Lebanon.” He also warned that linking Israeli withdrawal to the disarmament of “the resistance” across Lebanon is “a very dangerous proposal that crosses all red lines.”
