Hezbollah, the powerful Shia political and military organization in Lebanon, has issued a stern warning to the country's government against participating in planned talks with Israel in Washington, D.C. Naim Qassem, the deputy leader of Hezbollah, has accused the talks of being a ploy to pressure the group into laying down its weapons.
The planned negotiations, set to take place in the U.S. capital, are aimed at resolving a maritime border dispute between Lebanon and Israel. However, Qassem has denounced the talks as a thinly veiled attempt to undermine Hezbollah's influence and force the group to disarm.
