Hezbollah: Maritime talks with Israel in no way represent normalization

Hezbollah’s political wing says in a statement that Lebanon’s upcoming talks with Israel on a longstanding disputed maritime border do not in any way constitute normalization with the Jewish state.

“Despite all the talk that has been going around, the negotiating framework deals with our southern maritime borders and reclaiming our land, so as to delineate our national sovereignty,” the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc says.

“It has absolutely nothing to do with ‘reconciling’ with the greedy Zionist enemy, nor with the normalization which some Arab countries have adopted. These countries never believed in or practiced resistance against the Nation’s enemy for a single day.”
