Head of Hezbollah’s Loyalty to Resistance Parliamentary bloc in Lebanon, Hajj Mohammad Raad, issued on Friday a statement to warn the Lebanese government against insisting on the direct talks with the Zionist enemy.
“Any presumed truce that grants the occupying enemy in Lebanon a special exception to open fire or carry out any movement or field action in confrontation areas and within Lebanese territory—whether to secure a position, plant a mine, carry out an assassination, blow up a house or facility, bulldoze land, or the like—is not a truce at all. Rather, it is cunning deception and an insult to others’ intelligence, entailing cover for Israeli aggression and turning a blind eye to the enemy’s continued violations and breaches,” the statement read.
“The authority should be ashamed before its people and withdraw from what has been called direct negotiations with the Zionist enemy. What we fear most from the insistence on this sin is that the country will fall into something worse than what it was dragged into on the ominous May 17 in the early 1980s.”
“Likewise, any official communication or meeting that brings together a Lebanese and an Israeli party while a state of war exists between Lebanon and the Zionist occupation entity will not enjoy any Lebanese national consensus whatsoever and will constitute a blatant constitutional violation that no pretext or claimed interest can excuse,” MP Raad maintained.
