‘Will not surrender’: Nyme Kassem, the head of Hizbullah, tells the supporters; Rejects the dangers of Israel

Hizbullah leader Naim Qassem announced on Sunday that the group would not surrender its weapons in response to the dangers of Israel or will not keep its weapons. Addressing thousands of supporters during the Ashura remembrance in the southern suburbs of Berut, Kasem said, “This danger will not surrender us.”Kasem, who succeeded the late Hasan Nasrallah after being killed by Israel in September last year, said Hizbullah fighters maintained their weapons until Israel called it “aggression”.His comments come amid the ongoing pressure on the Lebanese government to remove Hizbullah. Lebanese officials have said that they are working to eliminate the group’s military positions in the southern Lebanon near the Israeli border.Last November, a ceasefire agreed, Hizbullah needed to move its fighters to the north of the Litani River, while Israel was to withdraw soldiers from the Lebanese region. However, Israel has maintained its presence on five strategic points. Despite the Trus, Israeli’s air strikes continued in Lebanon, citing Hizbullah’s goals and failed to fail to act on Berut.Kasem said that Israel should fulfill its obligations under the ceasefire – from Lebanese land, preventing their attacks, releasing prisoners from last year’s struggle, and supporting the reconstruction of Lebanon – before any national security discussion. He also rejected the matter of normalizing the relationship after flying the idea.On Monday, American messenger Tom Barrack is expected to visit Berut.During the Ashura procession, Hizbullah supporters marched in black through the southern districts of the capital, waving Hizbullah, Lebanani, Palestinian and Iranian flags. Many people made posters of the slain leader Hasan Nasrallah.The Lebanese government remains silent on the suggestion of generalization. Syria, which was also mentioned by the Israeli Foreign Minister, said that it was “prematurely” to discuss such a step.
