Beirut, May 25 /Sina/ — The leader of the Hezbollah movement, Naim Qassem, said on Sunday that attempts to disarm the movement would lead to its “destruction” and the gradual occupation of Lebanon, stressing that “Hezbollah” will continue the fight against Israel.
“Our existence is under threat, and we will defend ourselves, striving for one of two outcomes — victory or martyrdom,” N. Qassem declared in a televised address, broadcast by the local Al-Manar TV channel.
According to him, Israel seeks to destroy the movement and occupy all of Lebanon as part of the “Greater Israel” project. He added that “Hezbollah” will not back down despite the destruction and human casualties caused by the conflict.
The leader of “Hezbollah” also called on the Lebanese government to conduct negotiations with Israel not directly, but through intermediaries. N. Qasem warned against adopting positions aimed against the movement, and against what he called concessions to the United States and Israel.
