  "summary": "Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem has firmly rejected calls for his group's disarmament, stating that the resistance will continue to confront any aggression against it. In a statement released on Wednesday, Qassem denounced the legitimacy of a June US-brokered framework agreement with Israel, calling it \"null and void\" and accusing it of surrendering Lebanon's sovereignty to Israeli demands. He further denounced American tutelage and its control over certain key sectors of the Lebanese state, denouncing the US's support for Israel's actions in Gaza and its occupation of the West Bank.",
