Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said on Wednesday that the "ceiling" to be reached in negotiations between Lebanon and Israel was a situation of "reciprocal security". In a televised address, Qassem said the group rejects pilot zones agreed in the US-brokered talks between Lebanon and Israel. Qassem said that an understanding reached between Tehran and Washington to end the regional war was a "great victory", and urged Lebanon to seize the moment to expel Israeli forces. "We congratulate the Iranian people, the resistance and the countries and peoples of the region and the world who yearn for independence and freedom on this great victory," he said in a televised address, urging Lebanon to "benefit from this pivotal point".
