Hezbollah leader asks Lebanon to cancel Tuesday meeting with Israel

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem on Monday urged Lebanon to cancel a planned meeting with Israel in Washington the following day, reiterating his group's rejection of direct negotiations with Israel.

"We reject negotiations with the usurping Israeli entity... We call for a historic and heroic stance by canceling this negotiating meeting," Qassem, whose group has been at war with Israel since March 2, said in a televised address.

The Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors to the United States are scheduled to meet in Washington on Tuesday to discuss holding direct negotiations between the two countries.
