Qassem's Rejection Is the Loudest Signal Yet That Washington's Lebanon Framework Won't Hold

Desk note: Monexus led with Hezbollah's public statement because, on this file, the principal's own declaration is the news. The Western wire tendency is to quote it second; the structural story is that a Lebanon deal without Hezbollah's signature is not a deal.
