“Some in Lebanon were surprised by finalizing the maritime deal, their spite made them blind,” Sayyed Nasrallah said, adding that his speech next Saturday will never address them.
The Hezbollah S.G. then hit back at those who claimed that the deal is a “form of normalization” with the Zionist entity.
“Claims on normalizing ties between Lebanon and the Zionist entity after the maritime deal are baseless and false accusations.”
He stressed that Lebanese officials never did any suspicious step that might indirectly imply normalization, adding that the Lebanese and Israeli delegations never met in one room.
“The document which Lebanon has signed is a US letter that doesn’t include an Israeli signature. It’s neither an international accord nor a recognition of the Israeli enemy, but rather it’s a letter that will be sent to the United Nations.”
