The transcript published by Al-Ahed and reports by L’Orient Today and AFP document his position. Qassem also called for a return to indirect negotiations and challenged the framework agreement.
His conditional willingness to discuss weapons is not a decision to hand them over. The speech announces neither a disarmament timetable nor a monitoring mechanism.
These remarks concern Hezbollah’s negotiating position. They do not establish an agreement with Lebanese authorities or Israel, or that a withdrawal has taken place.
