Fadlallah said Hezbollah to break 'Yellow Line', vows 'no one' can disarm group
Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah said on Monday that it was in President Joseph Aoun's interest to withdraw from direct talks with Israel, while adding that his group wanted the current ceasefire to last.
"It is in the interest of the state, the interest of Lebanon, the president of the republic and the government to move away from the path of direct negotiation and return to a national understanding about the best option for Lebanon," he told AFP in an interview
"We will reject and confront any attempt to impose political costs on Lebanon through concessions made to this Israeli enemy," he said, but added Hezbollah wanted "the ceasefire to continue," accompanied by an Israeli withdrawal.
Moreover, Fadlallah said Hezbollah would work to break the "Yellow Line" that Israel established in southern Lebanon, adding that no one in the country or abroad can disarm the Iran-backed group.
"We will bring down this Yellow Line through the resistance," Fadlallah said.
"The attempt by the Israeli army to establish a buffer zone, under the title of a defensive line, a yellow line, a green line, and a red line... all these lines will be broken, and we will not accept any of them," he said.
He also vowed that "no one in Lebanon or abroad will be able to disarm the resistance."
