The secretary-general of the Hezbollah militant group has urged Lebanon to step down from scheduled direct talks with Israel set to take place in Washington, the first in decades.
Naim Kassem made these remarks in a televised address on the eve of the scheduled meeting between Lebanon and Israel's ambassadors to the US, as both sides set a framework for negotiations.
The latest round of fighting was sparked by Hezbollah firing rockets into northern Israel on March 2nd in solidarity with Iran.
An Israeli government spokesperson told reporters Monday that Israel's upcoming talks with Lebanon will focus on disarming Hezbollah and establishing peaceful relations between the two countries.
Israel and the Lebanese army have both been unable to forcibly disarm Hezbollah.
