Qassem say there are no yellow lines or buffer zones — and won't be

W460

Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem said Monday that he only supports "indirect diplomacy" as he lashed out again at Lebanon's plan for direct talks with Israel.

"There is no ceasefire, but rather a continuing Israeli-American aggression," Qassem said, adding that there are no yellow lines or buffer zones — "and there won't be".

Israel has kept up deadly strikes on Lebanon despite the April 17 ceasefire that sought to halt more than six weeks of war.

Israeli soldiers are now occupying some 10 kilometers deep inside Lebanon's border, where they are carrying out wide-scale detonations and demolitions of buildings.

The "yellow line" marks the area where troops are operating, mainly south of the Litani river. It includes about 55 Lebanese towns and villages such as Bint Jbeil, Khiam, and Naqoura. Lebanese residents are not allowed to return to their homes there.

Perhaps he should cross that yellow line and see whether he's correct.

Sure dum dum, the "yellow line" is now south of where the Israeli troops are, that's thanks to Hezbollah "Resistance".

Nasrallah “the goat herder” guided these goats and the entire Lebanese population into this mess while pretending to be a savior serving the nation, hiding under his filthy garment was a terrorist mentality dedicated to serving Iran and its stated objectives to terrorize and control the Middle East. Now that he is dead, his goats are determined to burn down the entire country with their loyalty to Iran, and their suicidal objectives. Therefore, it is time for President Joseph Aoun to step up, speak up and tell all where he stands, so we can all have a clear understanding of where this president is leading the country to, a true freedom or continuation of terrorizing the population through the Iranian tutelage!
