Hezbollah's Qassem rejects 'direct negotiations' with Israel, will respond to 'Israeli aggression'

Hezbollah's Secretary-General rejects direct negotiations with Israel, insisting the Lebanese government must annul a decision "criminalizing" the terror group. He says direct negotiations do not concern Hezbollah and that Israel has "reached a dead end." Hezbollah's resistance is described as ongoing, strong, and cannot be defeated. The Secretary-General also accuses the government of working against its own people and demands the annulment of a decision that criminalizes Hezbollah.
