The Hezbollah terror group said Thursday that Lebanon’s rare, indirect talks with Israel beginning next week on a longstanding maritime border dispute do not constitute normalization or peace talks with the Jewish state.
Lebanon’s parliament speaker Nabih Berri confirmed last week that an agreement had been reached on a framework for the negotiations.
The talks will be mediated by the United States and will be held at the headquarters of the UN peacekeeping force, UNIFIL, in the southern border town of Naqoura under the banner of the United Nations, Assistant US Secretary of State for Near East Affairs David Schenker told reporters last week.
