Naim Qassem: Hope New Authority in Damascus Won't Normalize with Israel
نعيم قاسم

Lebanese Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem Saturday reviewed organization's loss of supply line through Syrian territory following Syrian regime president Bashar al-Assad's overthrow about week ago in opposition forces' comprehensive attack.

Qassem avoided directly mentioning Assad in televised speech, but explained organization awaits situation stabilization in Syria before evaluating new leadership.

Hezbollah Secretary General expressed hope new Syrian administration won't "normalize" relations with Israel after strategic ally former president Bashar al-Assad's overthrow.

Naim Qassem stated in first speech since Assad's fall "We hope this new ruling party considers Israel enemy and doesn't normalize with it."

Iran-backed organization militarily supported ousted president throughout destructive civil war years.
