Therefore, we do not approve of the contents of this agreement, because it has proven, as we feared, that it does not include a timetable for withdrawal, and does not include anything binding on Israel. Israel is the party and the judge in it. It decides what suits it; if it sees that there is a danger that might come to it from some side, even at the level of intentions, it can confront it by carrying out operations on Lebanese territory. This is what is actually happening.

We refuse to go to an agreement like the one reached in the framework agreement. It does not secure any of Lebanon's rights, but makes it waive its right to sue a state before international law that aggresses against it and commits crimes against humanity and war crimes, and makes it waive its sovereignty and the extension of its authority by its own forces on its land, if this matter is necessary for the Israeli side.
