In an interview on Sky News Arabia (UAE) on November 20, 2025, Hezbollah-affiliated journalist Hasan Dorr dismissed the idea that Lebanese President Joseph Aoun would engage in direct communication with PM Netanyahu, despite an American mediator’s request.
Dorr claimed that such contact is impossible because “Israel is killing Lebanese for no reason.”
Host Michella Haddad pushed back, arguing that Hezbollah’s own actions provide Israel with the pretext for military responses. She challenged Dorr on why Hezbollah is active north of the Litani River and whether these operations constitute “resistance.”
Dorr accused Haddad of using “Israeli rhetoric” and insisted that U.S. Envoy Tom Barrack seeks to turn the Lebanese Armed Forces into “a battalion in the Israeli army.”
