Qassem urges Lebanon to reject Israel talks amid rising tensions

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem called on Lebanon to scrap planned talks with Israel in Washington, urging a "historic, heroic stance" against negotiations. Rejecting any truce dialogue, he accused Beirut of betrayal as Israeli strikes intensify. With over 2,000 dead and mass displacement, divisions deepen within Lebanon while Israel continues pushing for disarmament and formal peace talks.
