Hezbollah to Retain Weapons Amidst Israeli Aggression Claims

Photo · risingnepaldaily.com

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naeem Qassem stated that the organization will retain its weapons to prevent Israeli aggression and potential 'genocide' in Lebanon. Qassem accused the United States of not being an impartial mediator in potential Lebanese government talks with Israel, claiming such discussions would only serve the 'Zionist regime's' interests. He asserted that Hezbollah will not disarm until the Lebanese government is fully independent and capable.

  • Qassem stated that Hezbollah's resistance movement was born from the leadership of 'martyr leader of the Ummah' Hassan Nasrallah.
  • He claimed that even after 15 months of diplomacy, the Lebanese government has achieved no success against the 'Zionist enemy'.
  • Qassem warned that if Hezbollah is disarmed, another Israeli genocide may occur in Lebanon.
  • He described Israel as an expansionist enemy attempting to gradually eliminate the resistance force in Lebanon.
