Hezbollah MP says 'in the interest' of Lebanon president to withdraw from direct Israel talks

Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah said on Monday that it was in Lebanese 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.
