Hezbollah’s deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem declared that Israel will never succeed in disarming the Lebanese resistance group. Speaking at a memorial for Commander Ali Karaki, Qassem emphasized Hezbollah’s readiness against Israeli aggression. He criticized U.S.-Israel plans for a new deal aimed at weakening Hezbollah, stating it poses an existential threat to Lebanon. Qassem acknowledged the cost of resistance but warned that surrender would expose the entire nation to attack. He urged unity and resistance to safeguard Lebanon’s sovereignty.
