GAZA, (PIC)
Hezbollah secretary-general Naim Qassem has said that Hezbollah will continue to support Gaza to confront the Israeli threat to the entire region, stressing that the Gaza people have the right to receive every support.
In his first speech on Wednesday following his election as leader of Hezbollah, Qassam affirmed that Hezbollah would stick to the war strategy as assigned by the former leadership, expressing his belief that the group would emerge victorious despite the many and great sacrifices.
“My work program is the same one that has been set by our martyred leader Hasan Nasrallah, and will continue to carry out the war plan that he and the party leadership have drawn,” Qassem said.
Qassem said that the resistance exists to liberate the land and confront the Israeli occupation and its expansionist intents, adding that the legendary steadfastness of the resistance in Gaza and Lebanon would shape the future of their generations.
The new leader of Hezbollah rejected what some people claim that “Israel was provoked. “Does Israel need an excuse? Have we forgotten 75 years of killing and displacing Palestinians, stealing their land and holy sites, and committing massacres?”
He pointed out that the Israeli occupation regime had a premeditated plan to wage its war on Lebanon. “Netanyahu justified his war on Lebanon as being for the creation of a new Middle East and his ministers announced that they wanted to build settlements in southern Lebanon.”
