Qassem says Hezbollah rejects 'direct or indirect partitioning' of Lebanon
Hezbollah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem has stressed that his party “accepts the Taif Accord.”
“We believe that it would achieve a lot of objectives when implemented in a better manner,” Qassem added.
“We are not proposing the amendment of the Taif Accord or the constitution; we only want to lower voting age to 18 years,” he said.
He added: “We emphasize that Lebanon is a homeland for us and for our Lebanese partners and that there is only one Lebanon that belongs to all Lebanese without discrimination.”
“We will not accept any direct or indirect partitioning” of the country, Hezbollah’s number two went on to say.
