Conservative commentator Mark Levin launched a blistering attack on reported diplomatic discussions involving Hezbollah, arguing that the process sidelines the very nations most affected while empowering hostile actors at Israel’s expense.

“Has anybody ever heard of a negotiation where the two countries directly affected, Israel and Lebanon, are left out of the negotiation?” Levin wrote, referring to what he described as a Hezbollah renewal negotiation involving Qatar, Pakistan, and the United States.

Levin contended that any agreement emerging from such discussions would effectively be imposed on both Israel and Lebanon without their direct participation. He questioned the logic behind such an approach, asking, “Have we ever forced a democratic ally to endanger its own citizens by supporting a terrorist organization that has murdered Americans?”

Expressing outrage over the reported framework, Levin declared, “Honestly, this is an abomination. What kind of [rubbish] is this,” he continued.

The commentator went on to argue that the negotiations threaten Israel’s security while simultaneously bolstering Iranian influence through Hezbollah’s entrenched position in Lebanon.

“Even worse, we are smearing Israel for refusing to abandon its security, we ensure Iran’s control over Lebanon via Hezbollah, and we have done absolutely nothing over the 45 year period Hezbollah has slaughtered Americans,” he wrote. “Only Israel has. Why are we helping Hezbollah? Pure appeasement to Iran.”

Levin also expressed disbelief over the reported role being played by Qatar and Pakistan in the talks.

“And why the hell are Qatar and Pakistan lead negotiators?” Levin asked. He described the two countries as “corrupt, brutal, terror-tied regimes with ties to Iran and hate for Israel.”

Taking his criticism even further, Levin argued that the reported proposal would be more damaging than the nuclear agreement negotiated during the Obama administration.

“Certainly far worse than Obama’s nuclear deal,” he wrote.

“I can’t think of another time in American history where we’ve done anything as preposterous as this,” he wrote. “Israel must completely reject it. For its country’s security AND ours!”

Levin further asserted that Qatar and Pakistan appear to be advancing Tehran’s interests more effectively than Washington is defending one of its closest allies.

“Qatar and Pakistan are doing a better job representing Iran than we are supporting our ally.”

Turning his attention to Capitol Hill, Levin questioned whether Republican lawmakers would stand behind the reported initiative and suggested the matter deserves far greater scrutiny.

“I wonder how many congressional Republicans support this? No way this escapes scrutiny. Something is going on here that stinks to high heaven,” he wrote.

Concluding his remarks, Levin predicted that public support for the arrangement would collapse if voters were fully informed about its details.

“If the public were actually polled on specific major parts of this, like the above lunacy, and it was explained, the polls would be in the toilet.”
