Lebanon: Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Kassem says that the weapons of resistance will not be disarmed as long as Israel continues. Kassem said that Israel must withdraw according to the 11/27/2024 agreement and Resolution 1701, and that the Lebanese army must deploy south of the Litani River. He called the framework agreement non-existent and said that Iran prioritizes an end to aggression against Lebanon. He also called for limiting the American instruction on the state's institutions, saying that Israel cannot continue occupying the land of Lebanon.
