Sheikh Qassem: The current war is an Israeli- American-European one, it aims at eliminating resistance in the region

Beirut, (ST) – Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem stressed that the current war is an Israeli-American- European one and it aims at eliminating the resistance in the region. He pointed out that supporting the resistance in Gaza has been a duty to confront the danger of the Israeli entity to the entire region from the gate of Gaza.

Qassem said in a speech today: “We have many sacrifices ahead of us, but we are confident that victory over the enemy will be ours”.

He added: “The resistance was created to liberate the land and confront the Israeli enemy and its expansionist projects, and it is the one that defeated the Israeli occupation from our land in cooperation with the army and the people”.

Qassem continued: “We will continue with the work program of the martyred leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in all fields and we will continue to implement the war plan that he set with the leaders of the resistance”.

Qassem thanked Hezbollah leadership for choosing him as the party’s Secretary-General.

He affirmed that supporting Gaza was necessary to confront the Israeli scheme which threatens the entire region.

“The Zionist entity needs no pretext to stage an aggression, it has been attacking the region for 75 years,” Sheikh Qassem said, stressing that “through resistance, we will disrupt the Israeli scheme, and we are capable of doing so.”

He described the current war as a global one staged by ‘Israel’, US and other Western countries.

“This war employs all capabilities with all brutal means,” he stated.

He hailed the epic steadfastness of the resistance in Gaza and Lebanon, saying that these acts of resistance “will make the future of our generations.”

On the other hand, Sheikh Qassem stated that despite the heavy blows Hezbollah has suffered, it has managed to rise and recover, affirming that the Lebanese resistance group is fully ready for a long war.
