Speech by Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem on the occasion of Islamic Unity Week
Hezbollah leader, Sheikh Naim Qassem, last night with the fairly regular message page from recent times
Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem: We will remain proud and will not surrender, let them do as they please.
Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem says in his speech on the occasion of the Prophet Muhammad's birthday that his organization is in a state of conflict with Israel and will continue to do so. According to him, he will not agree to anything except the implementation of the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024. Qassem explained that they do not recognize the framework agreement reached between Israel and Lebanon, which is a humiliating, illegal agreement that destroys sovereignty, and they call for its overthrow. According to him, they do not agree to the pilot areas. Qassem said in his speech that they will remain on the battlefield and will not agree to the plans that are being talked about. Qassem noted that they crushed the "Greater Israel" plan and prevented Israel from reaching Beirut and neutralizing it with its own force. Qassem said that today Israel is afraid to establish settlements in southern Lebanon because it is afraid of Hezbollah, and Israel is afraid to draw its border beyond the territories it has occupied because it is also afraid of Hezbollah.
Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem: It is time for our region to be secure through understanding among its countries and to put an end to arrogance. There is an aggressive American-Israeli project to control and fragment the region, which is being confronted by Iran and the resistance forces. The region is currently undergoing a historic restructuring of its image and the balance of power within it, and we are witnessing extraordinary events. The enemies have left no criminal means unused on all fronts; they have left no act of genocide unused. The enemies have left no opportunity for aggression unexplored, but they have not and will not succeed in achieving their goals. The great sacrifices made in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and Iraq have halted the Zionist-American project targeting the region. We have sacrificed much, and we will not lose. Loss would only occur if we surrendered and gave them everything. The Lebanese authorities' negotiations did not stop the war but rather legitimized it; it was a humiliating surrender to the enemy without any concessions.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem: To the Lebanese authorities: Stop accumulating failures, for this accumulation is destroying the country and harming the country and its future. The Lebanese authorities brought about the "Framework Agreement" to render the country without sovereignty and under American tutelage. The steadfastness of the resistance and Iran's prioritization of the Lebanese cause in the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding are what restrained the Israeli enemy. The "Framework Agreement" resulted in the occupation of Zawtar al-Gharbiyah instead of its liberation, and it also led to the occupation of al-Mansouri, bringing shame and disgrace.
Naeem Qassem: The Lebanese government has targeted the resistance instead of violating Israel's commitments The Secretary-General of Hezbollah in Lebanon emphasized that the government of this country has focused on the resistance instead of focusing on the issue of the Zionist regime's failure to adhere to its commitments. Al-Mayadeen: Sheikh Naeem Qassem, Secretary-General of Hezbollah in Lebanon, said in his speech on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Lebanon's victory against the Zionist regime in the 33-day war: "One of the results of the Battle of "Oli al-Bas" despite all the difficulties and despite what Israel committed is the agreement of November 27, 2024 (7 Azar 1403). This agreement still has the authority to stand and we should act on it."

Sheikh Naim Qassem: The resistance will never surrender to the pressures and aggression of the Zionist regime / The Lebanese government must assume responsibility for rebuilding the south and ensuring the security of the refugees Secretary-General of Hezbollah in Lebanon: By relying on the resistance and our patient people, we continue the path of Imam Musa Sadr and Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and consider Israel to be absolute evil. Contrary to claims, the return of 300,000 refugees to the south is an achievement of the "Islamabad Agreement"; because the "Framework Agreement" has achieved nothing but occupation and humiliation. The resistance's actions are purely defensive and despite the imbalance of power, we will never surrender; because the pain of surrender is much greater. Today, the main priority is rebuilding the south and ensuring the security of the refugees, and the government must fulfill its responsibilities in this regard. nournews.ir @Nournews_IR
Sheikh Naim Qassem: The "New Middle East" Project Failed in the 33-Day War The Secretary-General of Hezbollah said in a speech on the anniversary of the 33-Day War: "The surrender of the resistance is merely an illusion. The resistance will continue on its path and will not allow the goals of the Zionist regime to be achieved." One of the results of the 33-Day War was that deterrence against the enemy was maintained from 2006 to 2023. The enemy surrendered to this resistance, this nation, and the resistant Lebanon. What happened in the victory of 2006 showed that the resistance can change the equations and forcing the resistance to surrender is nothing more than a mirage. The Lebanese government did not cooperate with the resistance. Unfortunately, the officials had other calculations and had other commitments and were under a guardianship, the results of which were revealed later. Sheikh Naim Qassem also addressed the Lebanese government: How can you accept that the army is insulted when you should support and protect it?! @Farsna
Sheikh Naim Qassem: The Resistance Will Never Surrender to the Pressures and Aggression of the Zionist Regime The Lebanese Government Must Take Responsibility for Rebuilding the South and Ensuring the Security of the Refugees Secretary-General of Hezbollah in Lebanon:

Naim Qassem, Secretary General of Lebanon's Hezbollah, said in a speech marking the 20th anniversary of the 33-day war: "Hezbollah responded on March 1 to the killing of Ali Khamenei; this response reflected the suffering we endured over the past 15 months."
Sheikh Naim Qassem: The living model of resistance changed the balance of power in the region / The equation of "army, nation and resistance" destroyed the US "new Middle East" plan Secretary-General of Hezbollah in Lebanon: The resistance of the Lebanese Islamic resistance in the framework of the strategic equation of "army, nation and resistance" led to the humiliating defeat of the Zionist enemy and its main supporter, America. This historic battle not only led to the release of prisoners and detainees, but also completely frustrated the alleged plan of Condoleezza Rice, the then US Secretary of State, to create a "Greater Middle East" and interpret it as the "labor pains of a new order." The victory of the resistance was able to create a balance of power and a sustainable deterrent for 20 years (from 2006 to 2026) against the threats of the Zionist regime. This living and successful experience is a clear example of the divine promise in the victory of the oppressed over the arrogant powers of the time and proves that It shows that adhering to the resistance model, accurately assessing the realities, and continuously improving preparedness has the ability to disrupt and change all regional equations. nournews.ir @Nournews_IR

Although the beginning of this battle was accompanied by the capture of two Zionist soldiers by Hezbollah in order to free prisoners from Israeli prisons, the course of developments showed that diplomacy without applying military pressure was not fruitful and that this regime only understands the language of force. In addition, evidence revealed that the United States and the Zionist regime had already prepared for a larger attack on Lebanon in September of that year, and this timely action thwarted their sinister plan ahead of time. @YjcNewsChannel]
