He insisted that Israel must withdraw from territory claimed by Lebanon and rejected any discussion of Hezbollah's disarmament as long as the occupation and aggression continue.The remarks follow the June framework agreement between Lebanese and Israeli authorities, which includes Hezbollah's disarmament, a phased Israeli withdrawal, and deployment of the Lebanese military.
