  "summary": "Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has again rejected a framework deal between Lebanon and Israel. The deal, signed in late June, calls for the disarmament of Hezbollah, a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from south Lebanon, and the deployment of the Lebanese army to the region.\n\nQassem described the agreement as \"illegitimate, unlawful, humiliating, destructive to Lebanese sovereignty.\" He also rejected the proposed \"pilot zones\" and any verification system.\n\nThe framework deal was reached after US-sponsored direct talks between Lebanon and Israel, which began after Hezbollah's attack on Israel on March 2. According to Lebanese authorities, the subsequent conflict has killed over 4,300 people.",
