Hezbollah Chief Urges Lebanon to Freeze Israel Talks, Cites Concessions

Hezbollah Secretary-General Na'im Qasim publicly called on the Lebanese government to suspend direct negotiations with Israel, alleging that it is making concessions that serve an Israeli-American agenda. He also tied the issue of Hezbollah's exclusive weapons to the liberation of South Lebanon, signaling a hardening stance. This rhetoric escalates political pressure on the Lebanese state and could complicate any diplomatic track, though it remains rhetorical at this stage.
