Na'im Qasim to Israel: If You Step Aside, We'll Consider How to Act

Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Na'im Qasim stated today, Saturday, that "we hear some Israeli officials saying that they will not stop the war even if it stops in Gaza! Take your time; who said we are waiting for you to stop or not stop?". He continued, "We are on the ground. If you attack, we will respond. If you step aside, we will consider how to deal with your presence appropriately. If you think about escalating the war to bring back the settlers, it means you are giving them no hope of return, because the more the war escalates, the more difficult it will be for the settlers to return."
