Hezbollah Presents Two Options Regarding the Future of Southern Lebanon

The Deputy Secretary-General of "Hezbollah," Sheikh Naim Qassem, during the Ashura council at the "Imam Khomeini" complex, stated that "today we have a significant crisis due to Israel's aggression on Gaza for the past 9 months. This aggression would not have lasted without the full support of America on military, media, cultural, political levels, international patronage, and pressure on the Security Council," emphasizing that "America is the main culprit for supporting this cancerous germ, and without this support, Israel would not have been able to withstand." He mentioned that "currently, there is talk of a possible agreement, but if America continues its current approach, Netanyahu will not respond because he sees that the Americans are not exerting the right pressure on him. If the Americans pressure him seriously, he will be compelled to stop the war. However, as it stands, they facilitate the acts of extermination and crime by allowing the killing of children and women in Gaza. In any case, this has been a 9-month experience; Israel planned to finish off Gaza in 3 months, and here we are at the beginning of the ninth month, and it has not achieved anything. If it continues longer, it will not be able to because the Palestinian people are determined to remain in the field until victory or martyrdom. Meanwhile, Israel is faltering day by day. If Israel bets that the Palestinians will tire, that will not happen; you will tire while the Palestinians will remain steadfast mountains that fight and sacrifice." He concluded, stating, "If some major countries are looking for a solution, it begins with a ceasefire, and any other option does not aid in the solution. Here we stand with two options: either the continuation of fighting or a ceasefire. There is no third option called surrender because the resistance will not surrender. Therefore, the world must make a choice. In Lebanon, if they stop in Gaza, we will stop; if they continue, we will continue."
