Hezbollah MP says direct talks with Israel are 'blatant violation' of constitution

Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah on Saturday reiterated his Iran-backed group's rejection of direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, a day after Lebanon's president said such talks would take place next week in Washington.

The move is "a blatant violation of the (National) Pact, the constitution and Lebanese laws... and it exacerbates domestic divisions at a time when Lebanon most needs solidarity and internal unity to face Israel's aggression," Fadlallah said in a statement.
