Hezbollah chief calls US-mediated deal 'grave blunder', null and void

BEIRUT, Jun 27: Hezbollah leader NaimQassem condemned the US-Israel-Lebanon framework agreement on Saturday, saying it a major mistake by Beirut and that his group deemed it null and void.

"The framework agreement in Washington is humiliating, shameful, and a surrender of sovereignty. This agreement is null and void, and the provisions of the Iranian-American memorandum of understanding must be implemented," Qassem said in a statement, accusing Lebanese authorities of "legitimising" Israeli occupation through this "grave blunder".

Qassem called on the government to withdraw from "its sins that are ruining Lebanon".�" AFP
