Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem has called on the Lebanese government to stop giving “free concessions” to Israel, with the two governments due to begin negotiations in Washington next week. “We will not accept a return to the previous situation, and we call on officials to stop offering free concessions,” Qassem said in a written message broadcast on the party’s Al-Manar TV, in which he also denounced the “bloody criminality on Wednesday,” when Israeli strikes killed more than 300 people in Lebanon.
