Mahmoud Qumati, deputy head of Hezbollah's political council, has delivered a sharp critique of a recent accord, declaring it fundamentally flawed from inception and incapable of implementation.

In remarks made on June 28, 2026, Qumati stated that the agreement was "born dead" and remains non-executable. He emphasized that there is no necessity to mobilize street-level action in response.

The Hezbollah official articulated a firm position against any attempt to condition Israeli military withdrawal on Lebanese internal political questions, specifically singling out the matter of weapons as an issue that should remain separate from any withdrawal arrangements.

His comments underscore ongoing tensions surrounding the terms and viability of agreements affecting the region, particularly regarding the terms under which Israeli forces might depart Lebanese territory and the conditions that might accompany such a withdrawal.
