  • Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah stated that Lebanese government negotiations with Israel lack enforceability without Hezbollah's consent.
  • He argued that any agreement granting concessions to Israel without genuine solutions for Lebanon is unconstitutional and rejected.
  • Fadlallah emphasized that stances serving Israel undermine Lebanese sacrifices and national interests.

Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah asserted on Friday that the Lebanese government's negotiations with Israel are fundamentally flawed, as any terms agreed upon cannot be implemented without the explicit approval of the resistance movement. He characterized the government's approach as one that grants excessive concessions to Israel while failing to secure realistic solutions for Lebanon.

Fadlallah criticized the state's negotiation frameworks, arguing they are misaligned with the country's constitution, laws, and the National Pact. He stated that any position which benefits Israel at the expense of Lebanon is unacceptable and undermines the sacrifices made by the Lebanese people.

"Every stance that serves the enemy is against the constitution, the law, the National Pact, and the country. Every stance that undermines our sacrifices is rejected, condemned, and denounced, regardless of where it comes from," the lawmaker declared, underscoring Hezbollah's firm stance against agreements perceived as detrimental to Lebanon's interests.
