Hezbollah, ‘we reserve the right to defend the homeland’
Hezbollah said it reserves the right to “defend its homeland” after new attacks launched by Israel in southern Lebanon, despite the framework agreement signed on Friday aimed at guaranteeing “lasting peace” between the two countries. In a statement, the pro-Iranian movement “reiterates that what the enemy did constitutes a flagrant violation of the ceasefire to which it had adhered up to that moment, and that it is monitoring and recording these violations, reserving the right to defend its homeland and its people”.
Lebanon, the president of Parliament: ‘The US-Israel-Lebanon agreement will not pass’
The speaker of the Lebanese Parliament Nabih Berri, an ally of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah movement, declared that the framework agreement signed with Israel under the auspices of the United States “will not be adopted”, believing that it does not guarantee his country’s rights. “This agreement will not be adopted or implemented in its current form,” he said in a statement released by his party, the Amal Movement, denouncing it as an “agreement based on ‘diktats’, and not an agreement that protects Lebanon’s rights.” Signed on Friday in Washington, the agreement aims to achieve a “lasting peace” between Lebanon and Israel and provides for the disarmament of Hezbollah.
