Hezbollah just rejected the Lebanon-Israel framework agreement as a humiliation and a surrender of sovereignty
Hezbollah just rejected the Lebanon-Israel framework agreement as a humiliation and a surrender of sovereignty
Qassem is saying the Lebanese government handed Israel concessions it couldn't win on the battlefield and abandoned the Iranian-US memorandum that would have ended the war on better terms.
The core of his argument is that tying Israeli withdrawal to Hezbollah disarmament across all of Lebanon is a trap:
It gives Israel a legal pretext to stay indefinitely while Lebanese displaced from the south can't go home.
Washington got a signing ceremony. Hezbollah is promising to keep fighting. Those two things are going to have to reconcile with each other at some point and it's not going to be pretty when they do.
