Hezbollah’s new secretary-general, Naim Qassem, said that he intended to follow in the footsteps of the terror organization’s previous leader, Hassan Nasrallah, during his first televised speech as leader of the terror organization on Wednesday.
During his speech, he referred to the drone attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Caesarea home, saying, “Netanyahu survived this time, perhaps his time hasn’t yet come.”
“My agenda is to follow Nasrallah’s agenda in all aspects,” Qassem said. “We will continue our war plan.”
He continued, “We don’t fight on behalf of anyone or for anyone’s project, we fight for Lebanon. Iran supports our project and doesn’t ask anything of us.”
Qassem spoke of former Hezbollah leaders, Hassan Nasrallah, and Hashem Safieddine, who were killed in Israeli strikes in September and October. He also spoke of former Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, who was eliminated earlier in October in the Gaza Strip.
He called Sinwar “an icon of heroism and resistance for Palestine, and the free people of the world, died fighting to his last breath – steadfast, brave, faithful, righteous, honorable, and free.”
Qassem also addressed the ongoing war in Gaza, saying that Hezbollah would continue to support Hamas and to confront “the danger posed by “Israel” to the entire region.”
The Hezbollah leader criticized various countries and regions that have supported Israel, including the US and Europe. He said that that Iran supports Hezbollah, and their “beliefs are aligned.”
“International resolutions did not drive the Israeli enemy out of Lebanon; it was the resistance that forced them out.”
He also discussed the pager attack launched by Israel in September, saying that the event affected “4,000 Lebanese.”
