Lebanon’s direct talks with Israel have yielded nothing but shame, humiliation: Hezbollah leader
The secretary general of the Hezbollah resistance movement has categorically rejected the Lebanese government’s direct negotiations with Israel, emphasizing that the talks have yielded nothing but shame, humiliation, as well as bitter disappointment for Lebanon marked by a series of substantial concessions.
Sheikh Naim Qassem made the remarks in a televised speech broadcast on the occasion of Arba’een, the 40th day after the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam, from the city of Baalbek, southern Lebanon, on Tuesday.
“What has Lebanon reaped out of all these rounds of negotiations? While Lebanon has gained nothing, Israel has achieved everything it desired,” he said.
The Hezbollah chief asserted that Lebanese authorities attempted to appease Israel during the face-to-face talks rather than to firmly stand for the legitimate and fundamental rights of their nation.
“Lebanese authorities will not achieve anything for Lebanon, as they have failed to pursue the United States’ objectives. I call on the authorities to stop offering significant concessions, engage in dialogue with Hezbollah, restore domestic stability, and reaffirm commitment to national sovereignty,” Sheikh Qassem stated.
