Beirut – SABA:
The Secretary-General of Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, emphasized that anyone who believes the Israeli enemy’s threat is limited to Palestinians and Lebanese is gravely mistaken, as the Israeli enemy poses a comprehensive strategic danger.
Speaking on the seventh night of Ashura commemorations at the Sayyid al-Shuhada Complex (AS) in Beirut’s southern suburbs, Sheikh Qassem stated that confronting the Israeli entity is not merely about opposing an occupying force on Palestinian land, but about resisting a strategic threat to Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and the entire region and world.
He stressed that the Israeli enemy, through its ideology and actions, represents a real danger, and confronting it is not a simple matter but a battle against a strategic menace.
Sheikh Qassem noted that those who refuse to confront the Israeli enemy under the pretext of not belonging to Hezbollah’s Islamic line should at least oppose it on humanitarian grounds, as the Israeli enemy endangers everyone, including Christians, Jews, Americans, and the entire world.
He referenced statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who openly declared plans to reshape and reprogram the "New Middle East" in alignment with the Zionist entity.
Despite the recent ceasefire agreement, Sheikh Qassem pointed out that the Israeli enemy remains the persistent aggressor, having committed over 3,700 violations. While the international community monitors these breaches, its responses are limited to calls for minor concessions, whereas Hezbollah continues to resist the Israeli enemy as it always has.
He affirmed that Israel constantly plans aggression and expansion, directly impacting Lebanese lives and regional stability, and stressed the necessity of saying "no" and confronting this aggression.
Sheikh Qassem reiterated Hezbollah’s rejection of any threats of force or foreign interference in internal decisions, declaring that the party will never accept humiliation, surrender of land or weapons to the Israeli enemy, or compromise on rights guaranteed by international law and divine principles.
He emphasized that Hezbollah was raised on the path of Imam Hussein (AS) and the Master of Martyrs, Sayyed Hassan (AS), and has made sacrifices to defend this path and ensure its continuity. The party’s voice soars high with the slogan "Humiliation is far from us," and no pressure will sway its stance, for it stands with truth, while the Israeli enemy and America are the aggressors against Lebanon and the region.
