Hezbollah chief urges Lebanese government to cancel Washington talks with Israel

Hezbollah said it will reject any deal from the talks as Lebanese officials seek a ceasefire and the first direct envoy meeting in decades.

  • Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem on Monday urged Lebanon to cancel Tuesday's Washington meeting with Israel, rejecting direct negotiations with the "usurping Israeli entity" ahead of scheduled ambassador talks.
  • Lebanese authorities seek a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war, but Israeli officials have dismissed that prospect, preferring formal peace talks between the two countries instead.
  • The ongoing conflict has displaced more than 1 million people in Lebanon and killed more than 2,000, including more than 500 women, children, and medical workers since March.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday that "we want the dismantling of Hezbollah's weapons, and we want a real peace agreement that will last for generations."
  • Wafiq Safa, a high-ranking Hezbollah official, stated the group is ready to negotiate weapons disposal with the Lebanese government if a ceasefire and Israeli troop withdrawal occur.
