Naim Qassem

Two years after the elimination of Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah faces a leadership crisis under Naim Qassem, severe internal Lebanese pressure, and strategic military setbacks in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem praised the group's months-long resistance against the IDF in southern Lebanon during a speech marking two years since Hassan Nasrallah's death.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem criticized Lebanon's political leadership over proposed diplomatic frameworks, while the IDF recalled the elimination of former leaders.

A deep crisis of trust between Tehran and Hezbollah leadership has emerged following the destruction of strategic tunnels at Ali Tahr ridge, leading to curtailed powers for Naim Qassem.

Naim Qassem attacked the direct negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, claiming that Beirut "gave up its right to demand anything." Qassem called for Islamic unity against Israel: "We have sacrificed much and have not lost. The loss is when we surrender."

In his speech marking 20 years since the Second Lebanon War, Naim Qassem quoted an article allegedly written by a "Yedioth Ahronoth columnist named Moshe Yair." It turns out the person does not exist, and the text is a fake that has been circulating online for months. The incident has sparked widespread mockery and criticism of the Hezbollah leader in Lebanon.

Ahead of the eighth round between Lebanon and Israel, the Hezbollah Secretary-General has intensified his opposition to the diplomatic track and the disarmament of the organization, clarifying that as far as he is concerned, there is no change in Hezbollah's line.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem has announced that the Lebanese terrorist organization is prepared to hold a public meeting with the Syrian leadership. This statement follows remarks by the US President suggesting that the Syrian regime could militarily confront Hezbollah if necessary, in place of Israel.

A source in Beirut said that the call by the secretary-general of the terrorist organization for dialogue with the Lebanese leadership went unanswered. According to the source, "Qassem will not find a single supporter for his campaigns against President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Najib Mikati. He is still clinging to his weapons and acting as if his support for Gaza and Iran did not lead to...

The organization has weakened since October 7, but has not changed its worldview and has not stopped regrouping. Negotiations with Lebanon are an opportunity, but Israel must not ignore the reality on the ground. Human dynamics: an elegant solution to the current problem creates a new problem the next day.

In the shadow of the security escalation, contacts in Rome are encountering significant disputes, and Hezbollah is attempting to thwart the memorandum of understanding. The group is orchestrating a campaign against the Lebanese government and using explosive devices to target the local army.

Nawaf Salam responded to the Hezbollah Secretary-General's accusation regarding assistance to Israel: "They dragged Lebanon alone into the adventures of the 'support' wars, and provided excuses for aggression against our country."

The head of the terrorist organization Naim Qassem attacked the direct negotiations: "It brought only political gains to Israel, but we will repel it on the ground." In Lebanon, it is reported that these issues will be discussed in the round of talks in Rome.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem stated that the memorandum of understanding will accelerate the Israeli withdrawal. He declared Iran the victor and criticized direct negotiations between Jerusalem and Beirut.
