Hezbollah Chief Rejects Lebanon-Israel Framework Agreement, Opposes Disarmament Plan
Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem reiterated his rejection of the Lebanon-Israel framework agreement signed in June, calling it illegitimate and harmful to Lebanese sovereignty. The deal, brokered by the US, includes Hezbollah's disarmament, Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon, and Lebanese army deployment in pilot zones. Qassem opposed the pilot zones and any verification system. Despite reduced violence following a US-Iran understanding and the framework deal, Israeli strikes and shelling continue in southern Lebanon. Further talks are planned but not yet scheduled.
