Lebanon Attack | Hezbollah Leader Naim Kassem Urges Lebanon’s Government To Cancel Israel Talks
The secretary-general of the Hezbollah militant group on Monday urged Lebanon to step down from scheduled direct talks with Israel, set to take place in Washington, the first in decades. Naim Kassem made these remarks in a televised address on the eve of the scheduled meeting between Lebanon and Israel's ambassadors to the U.S., as both sides set a framework for negotiations. The latest round of fighting was sparked by Hezbollah firing rockets into northern Israel on March 2, in solidarity with Iran.
