Hezbollah's Secretary-General Naim Qassem reiterated his rejection of the maritime agreement signed between Lebanon and Israel on Friday, characterizing it as "Israeli dictates" imposed on the Lebanese government, Shehab Wire reported. Qassem cast doubt on the usefulness of ongoing negotiation rounds between the two sides.
The Hezbollah chief's remarks underscored persistent opposition from the Lebanese faction to the accord, which has drawn criticism from multiple political quarters since its signing.
