Hezbollah rejects Lebanon Israel framework agreement

The framework deal Lebanon signed with Israel in late June is being publicly rejected by Naim Qassem, who told Al-Manar it's illegitimate, unlawful, humiliating and destructive to Lebanese sovereignty. He also said Hezbollah won't accept the pilot zones or any verification system tied to them, and that the group will not surrender. The US-sponsored agreement was meant to see Hezbollah disarm, Israel withdraw from the south in phases, and the Lebanese army deploy. Since Hezbollah entered the conflict on March 2, more than 4,300 people have been killed. Israel has bombed the Ali al-Taher ridge for several straight days and advanced into villages near Nabatieh. The next round of talks is set for early September, though no date has been confirmed. Via AFP and Al-Manar. #NaimQassem
