Naim Qassem affirmed his firm rejection of any direct negotiation path with Israel, indicating that this option does not serve the Lebanese national interest.
He described this approach as potentially opening the door to additional political and security crises in the country.
Call to Adopt Indirect Negotiation Channels
Qassem called for limiting negotiations to indirect ones as the sole framework for dealing with any future political files with Israel.
He considered this method to maintain balance and prevent uncalculated concessions.
Criticism of the Lebanese Government Regarding the Political Path
Qassem criticized what he described as a "free concession," pointing out that some official movements are not based on a clear political necessity.
He urged the Lebanese government to stop any inclination towards direct talks with Israel.
Hezbollah's Position on Weapons and Field Readiness
Qassem reiterated that the party will not give up its weapons, considering military readiness an essential part of the deterrence equation.
He pointed out that the field reality proves the party's preparedness for any potential confrontation.
His Position on the Future of Disputed Territories
Qassem confirmed that Israel will not remain on any inch of the land it considers occupied, expecting the return of residents to their areas later.
This position reflects the continuation of the escalatory rhetoric regarding the border file.
