نعيم قاسم، الزعيم الجديد للمقاومة في لبنان
October 30, 2024 - الأمين العام الجديد للجماعة المسماة “حزب الله” هو نعيم قاسم، الرجل الثاني بعد الزعيم الراحل حسن نصرالله .
Qassem, elected head of the Lebanese armed group on Tuesday, has been a senior figure in the Iran-backed movement for more than 30 years.
Speaking from an undisclosed location on Oct. 8, Qassem said the conflict between so called Hezbollah and the Israelis was a war about who cries first, and group would not cry first. The group’s capabilities were intact despite “painful blows” from Israel.
But he added the group supported efforts to reach a ceasefire, for the first time omitting any mention of a Gaza truce deal as a pre-condition for halting the group’s fire on Israel.
His 30-minute televised address came just days after a senior figure Hashem Safieddine was thought to have been the target of an Israeli strike and 11 days after the killing of the group’s secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, France 24 said.
