TEHRAN (Tasnim) The secretary general of Lebanons Hezbollah resistance movement described the Israeli regime as a strategic threat to regional and global peace.

In a televised address on Wednesday Sheikh Naim Qassem declared Israel not only an occupier of Palestine but a strategic threat to Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, the broader region, and global stability.

He emphasized that Israels ideology, actions, and ambitions endanger Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike, destabilizing both regional and global peace.

Qassem said that since the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel took effect, the regime has not stopped its aggression and has violated the agreement more than 3700 times.

He stressed that the regime must adhere to the terms it agreed upon with Lebanon and stop its acts of aggression.

The Hezbollah leader said the movement will not be swayed by threats, nor will it accept surrendering its weapons to Israel.

Qassem firmly rejected calls for Hezbollah to disarm, asserting that Lebanons defense and sovereignty are internal matters, immune to external pressures.

We will not submit to humiliation, abandon our land, or compromise under threats, he stated, stressing that discussions about Hezbollahs weapons are a domestic issue, with no role for Israel in dictating terms.

Qassem said Hezbollahs resistance is a defense against a strategic threat impacting multiple nations, including Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, and Jordan.

Describing Israel as an existential danger, Qassem noted, Israels threat is not limited to Muslims; it endangers Christians and Jews as well.

He criticized the regimes ideology and actions as a risk to global peace and called on those who avoid confronting Israel to resist on humanitarian grounds.

Coexisting with an expanding, invasive danger is impossible, he warned, emphasizing Hezbollahs resistance as rooted in human, Islamic, and national values for future generations.

In late June, Qassem stated that Israels continued aggression, including attacks on Nabatieh, the targeting of civilians in southern Lebanon, and strikes on the money exchange sector, is now the Lebanese states responsibility to address.

The state must apply pressure and fulfill its duties, he urged, rejecting claims that Hezbollah provides pretexts for Israeli attacks.

He cited Israels occupation of 600 km of Syrian territory, destruction of capabilities, and attacks on Iran as evidence of unprovoked aggression.

You must understand this cannot continue, Qassem told the public. Do you imagine we will remain silent forever? All of this has limits.
