Qassem Warns Israel of Hell, Says There Will Be No Return to Pre-March 2
Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem said that the group “will not leave the battlefield and will turn it into hell for Israel,” adding: “We will respond to aggression and violations, and we will not return to the situation that existed before March 2.”
In a statement, he stressed that “no one outside Lebanon has anything to do with weapons, the resistance, or the organization of the Lebanese state's internal affairs. This is an internal Lebanese matter and is not part of negotiations with the enemy.”
He also warned that “we are facing an Israeli-American aggression aimed at subjugating our country so that it becomes part of ‘Greater Israel,’ and an agreement between Iran and the United States could be the strongest card to stop the aggression in Lebanon,” according to his statement.
He also called for “adopting the option of indirect negotiations, where the Lebanese negotiator holds the leverage, and withdrawing from direct negotiations, which amount to pure gains for Israel and free concessions from the Lebanese authorities.”
He added: “After Lebanon secures the five points, it can organize its internal situation through a national security strategy, drawing on its sources of strength, including the resistance, as stated in the inaugural address.”
