Hezbollah MP to AFP: direct Lebanon-Israel talks a 'grave error'

Hajj Hassan said direct negotiations with Israel ignore a Lebanon ceasefire and called the move a grave error as fighting continues.

  • On Thursday, Hezbollah lawmaker Hussein Hajj Hassan denounced the Lebanese government's decision to hold direct negotiations with Israel as a "grave error," urging Beirut to stop making concessions to Israel and the United States.
  • President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day truce starting at 2100 GMT, following an agreement on Tuesday to begin direct talks.
  • Hajj Hassan accused Lebanese officials of excluding the country from a regional ceasefire due to "unjustified blind hatred of Iran," insisting the government reached a deal through the United States and Israel instead.
  • Aoun stated on Thursday that a ceasefire was "the natural starting point for direct negotiations between the two countries," and thanked Trump for his "efforts" to secure the agreement.
  • Lebanon reports that Israeli attacks have killed more than 2,100 people and forced more than one million from their homes, illustrating the human cost of the ongoing conflict.
