Hassan Fadlallah, a high-ranking deputy of the “Hezbollah” parliamentary faction, has warned Lebanon about the potential consequences of direct negotiations with Israel.
“Elchi” reports that this was stated by the “Associated Press”.
During a meeting with the press in the town of Haret Hreik, south of Beirut, on Friday, he noted:
“Over these ten days, we expect Iran to continue its efforts to force Israel to follow the path determined by the Islamabad negotiations.”
Fadlallah emphasized that Lebanon should not enter into direct negotiations with Israel, as it would be considered a dangerous concession while Israeli troops remain on Lebanese territory.
“The Lebanese government is neither constitutionally nor nationally capable of making such a dangerous concession that threatens the future of Lebanon, and it has no authority to do so,” he declared.
The deputy also warned that if Israel’s attacks on Southern Lebanon continue, “Hezbollah” will not remain on the sidelines.
Fadlallah confirmed that Iran had informed the “Hezbollah” leadership in advance about the reached ceasefire.
“Yesterday, before the ceasefire, around 4 a.m., the “Hezbollah” leadership was officially informed by the Iranian ambassador that a ceasefire would take place during the night,” he said.
According to the deputy, Iran held telephone consultations with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and these conversations, besides being promising, helped facilitate the ceasefire as a first step toward stabilizing the situation.
He emphasized that the group’s core positions remain unchanged: full compliance with the ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli troops, the return of all displaced persons, the release of Lebanese prisoners, and the reconstruction of destroyed infrastructure.
