Hezbollah MP says Iran told them Israeli pullout part of deal
MP Hussein al-Hajj Hassan on Monday said that Hezbollah and Speaker Nabih Berri have been informed by Iran that Israeli withdrawal is included within the "framework of the agreement" with the U.S. and that "its details will be discussed soon."
"If the Israeli army does not withdraw, we will have a stance then," Hajj Hassan added, in an interview with Al-Jadeed TV, emphasizing that Hezbollah does not recognize any Israeli-drawn lines.
Addressing residents displaced from south Lebanon, the MP said: "Be patient; we will return with our heads held high."
He added that a joint statement will be issued by Hezbollah and the Amal Movement once a safe return is possible.
Earlier in the day, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Israel does not intend to withdraw from the so-called security zones in Lebanon, Gaza and Syria.
