Beirut:Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem has voiced Lebanon's priorities, focusing on ending Israeli aggression, securing the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and ensuring the return of displaced residents and the rebuilding of affected areas.
According to Yemen News Agency, Qassem made these remarks during a Martyrs' Day ceremony, where he rejected attempts to disarm the resistance and emphasized Lebanon's right to defend its sovereignty against foreign interference. He also criticized Israeli aggression, which he claims is supported by the United States as part of a broader project to establish 'Greater Israel' and dominate the region.
Qassem urged the Lebanese government to take action against the attacks and to seek international pressure for an Israeli withdrawal. He also stressed the need for regional cooperation to counteract US and Israeli dominance in the region. On the issue of Yemen, Qassem called for an end to the war and advocated for allowing Yemenis to determine their own future, condemning the killing of civilians under any pretext.
He further highlighted the importance of unity among resistance movements in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran, advocating for national dialogue, reconstruction, and improved living conditions in Lebanon. Citing a UN report, Qassem mentioned that Israeli attacks had displaced 1.2 million people and destroyed 27,000 houses, 182 public buildings, and 35 schools.
