Qassem says Aoun has become 'biased and divisive'
Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem said on Tuesday that direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel would bring "nothing but shame, humiliation, and successive compromises" for Lebanon, ahead of new talks in Rome.
In a televised address, Qassem said President Joseph Aoun "has not acted as an arbiter, nor as a unifying figure, but has become biased and divisive, which is incompatible with his role and with Lebanon's strength."

If the newspapers, radio and television in Lebanon would cease giving a stage to the statements and activities of the Hizballah terrorists, then things would become much quieter.

Hopefully we are finished with biased and Hezbollah-dependent presidents. It certainly looks like it. With the current president we at least stand a chance of regaining what Hezbollahs stupidity cost us. Qassems and his armed gangs solution is the same as various Palestinian groups have tried ove the last 79 years, and what has it brought them? No, wait! That was an unfair comparison. The difference is that Lebanon had their land back, but Qassems militia decided to start a new war anyway..

If Qassem were still in Tehran and spoke against the ruling government, he would be arrested for insulting the Ayatollah and put to death after a fair trial where he would be found guilty.
Instead, he enjoys the benefits of the freedoms Lebanon affords all its citizens while working to undermine those very strengths of the nation and Lebanese society.
Let's see if Berri speaks-out in response to Qassem and asserts his unqualified support for President Aoun's efforts to finally bring a peace at the borders, along the shorelines, and everywhere that is Lebanon.
Qassem made a small error - direct negotiations between Lebanon and Hizballah would bring "nothing but shame, humiliation, and successive compromises" for Lebanon.
