US proposes new deal as if ‘Israeli’ violations never happened: Hezbollah's leader

Sheikh Naeem Qassem, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, recently addressed the escalating tensions in the Middle East, highlighting key concerns regarding US and 'Israeli' actions in the region.

Qassem criticized the United States for proposing a new agreement that seemingly ignores eight months of previous violations. He asserted that the true goal behind ongoing aggression is to disarm Hezbollah in order to reassure 'Israel'.

The Hezbollah leader condemned 'Israel' for conducting airstrikes on Syria without any genuine threats, describing 'Israel' as an expansionist entity and a real danger to regional stability. He warned of ongoing attempts to suppress any resistance that could hinder Israeli expansion.

Qassem also accused 'Israel' of seeking control over every part of the region under the pretext of “Israeli security.” He expressed deep concern over threats to Lebanon, including warnings from the US envoy linking Lebanon’s fate to another state and inciting discord within the country and its military.

Highlighting the gravity of the situation, Qassem said Hezbollah and its ally, the Amal Movement, feel they face an existential threat to both the resistance and Lebanon’s diverse communities. He pointed to direct 'Israeli' threats and proxy forces operating in other areas as the greatest dangers facing Lebanon today.

Concluding his remarks, Qassem spoke of a plan to establish a “Greater Israel” amid the division of the Middle East, a move he views as a severe challenge to the region’s future.
