Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah has warned of “internal conflict” in Lebanon over the country’s agreement with Israel, which the group rejects, predicting that the deal would not be implemented, AFP reports.
Fadlallah spoke a day after Lebanese President Joseph Aoun told US President Donald Trump in a phone call that the Lebanese state “will assume its responsibilities” in implementing the framework agreement.
Speaking at a memorial ceremony, Fadlallah said: “The agreement of humiliation and disgrace signed by the authorities will never see the light of day and will not be implemented.”
“Our finger will remain on the trigger, we will continue our path of resistance to achieve our objectives, and we will exercise our legitimate right to defend our people,” he said.
He added that what “the authorities have done amounts to sedition aimed at pushing the country into chaos and shifting the conflict from one with the enemy to an internal conflict”.
