The statement specifically targeted the Lebanese authorities' continued meetings with Israeli representatives in Rome.

In response to these developments, the Loyalty to Resistance bloc, part of Hezbollah, issued a call for decisive action. They urged the authorities to halt negotiations with Israel, asserting that the current concessions have yielded neither security nor peace. Instead, Hezbollah claimed, these actions have led to further losses and the erosion of rights and sovereignty for Lebanon and its people.
In light of all these blatant and scandalous developments, we call on authorities to take decisive action and halt negotiations with the enemy in order to stop the series of concessions that have provided neither security nor peace, and have brought nothing but further losses and the erosion of rights and sovereignty to Lebanon and the Lebanese people
