Zafer Nasser to LBCI: Calls for upholding Sweida ceasefire, highlights Jumblatt's key role
Speaking on LBCI's "Nharkom Said" TV show, Nasser said: 'The situation is not over yet, which is why we emphasize the need to uphold the ceasefire. Israel has no interest in seeing the situation stabilize.'
He noted that past experience has shown Israel uses certain groups but does not protect them, adding that the Israeli airstrikes in Syria carry strategic dimensions and are messages aimed at regional powers with influence in Damascus.
Nasser also pointed out that former PSP leader Walid Jumblatt was always keen to maintain a healthy relationship with the Arslan family, as part of his effort to preserve internal unity, especially during times of crisis.

Hezbollah's Qassem: Lebanon's interest lies in restoring sovereignty, while Israel's interest is in weakening Lebanon
Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem ruled out accepting any new agreements with Israel, insisting that the original deal, referring to the November 27 understanding, must be implemented first. "We reject any new agreement. Any proposed timeline that falls under the shadow of Israeli aggression is unacceptable," he declared. Qassem accused Israel of reneging on its commitments and said developments in Syria have pushed Israel to reconsider its previous stance. "Israel reversed the agreement and did not abide by it. What happened in Syria greatly influenced the steps Israel took, and it now regrets formulating the agreement," he added. In response to recent statements by U.S. envoy Tom Barrack, Qassem said, "What Barrack proposed serves Israel entirely. His conditions—disarming Lebanon, the resistance, and the people—are completely in Israel's favor." He revealed that Barrack's proposal includes disarming Hezbollah within 30 days, even down to hand grenades and mortar shells, which he described as "simple weapons." He also warned of a wider conflict: "If Israel launches a broader war on Lebanon, rockets will fall upon it." Qassem emphasized that Hezbollah had facilitated the Lebanese state's responsibilities under the November 27 deal, but stressed that Lebanon's priority remains "restoring sovereignty and achieving liberation," while "Israel's interest lies in weakening Lebanon." Qassem reiterated that Lebanon's interest lies in restoring sovereignty and liberation, while Israel's interest is in weakening Lebanon. He also stressed that the issue of resistance against Israel must be decided through national consensus and that disarmament should not be tied to any timeline.
