Hezbollah's Naeem Qassem Calls for Ceasefire and Warns of Continued Conflict with Israel

Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary-General, Naeem Qassem, stated on Tuesday that the solution to the tense situation between Lebanon and Israel is a ceasefire.
In his third speech via screen since the death of the party's Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, on September 27, Qassem said, "I tell the Israeli home front that the solution is a ceasefire."
He added that "after the ceasefire, according to the indirect agreement, the settlers will return to the north, and the other steps will be outlined."
Qassem explained, "If Israel rejects the ceasefire, we will continue the war, and as it continues, more uninhabited settlements will increase, putting more than two million people at risk."
He asserted that "we have the right to target any point in Israel, whether in the center, north, or south, and we will choose the point we see fit."
He revealed that "Hezbollah has shifted from support to confrontation with Israel since the Bijar bombing on September 17 and the assassination of the party’s Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, on September 27."
He noted that "Hezbollah has regained its strength, repaired its capabilities, and established alternatives; there is no vacant leadership position in it, and there is an alternative leadership in every center."
The Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah stated that "Israel has lost 25 killed and 150 wounded in the first week (of ground operations)."
He indicated that Hezbollah has decided on "the equation of inflicting pain on the enemy so that the missiles reach Haifa and beyond Haifa."
He considered that "Israel is trying to create a new Middle East in its own way, with Lebanon being part of the Israeli expansionist project."
He emphasized that Israel wants "to shape Lebanon in a way that satisfies the Israeli and American interests, managing it as they wish by striking the leadership and military capabilities, aiming to end Hezbollah's existence, but they have not succeeded in achieving the first step."
Regarding Gaza, Qassem stated, "The Al-Aqsa Flood is a process aimed at expelling the occupier after 75 years of occupation, and what they are doing is a legitimate right, and we support them in liberating their land and protecting ours."
He stressed that what is happening "is not an Iranian project but a Palestinian project supported by Iran, Yemen, Iraq, and others."
