Qassem says Hezbollah to continue 'cooperation' with Lebanese state and army
Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem has met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who has been visiting Lebanon since Thursday, Hezbollah said.
The two men discussed “the events in the region and the world and their repercussions and impact on all of the region’s countries,” Hezbollah’s Media Relations Department said in a statement.
Qassem talked about “the continuation of the American-Israel aggression and the Israeli enemy’s failure to abide by the ceasefire agreement signed in November 2024 despite Lebanon’s commitment and its implementation of its obligations south of te Litani River, which confirms the aggression’s expansionist intentions that were mentioned by (Israeli PM Benjamin) Netanyahu in his remarks about Greater Israel,” the statement said.
“The Israeli enemy will not achieve its objectives from the continuation of the aggression amid the presence of this popular and resistant coherence, which is insisting on liberating the land and returning to the southern villages and towns,” Qassem said during the meeting.
“We will continue to cooperate with the state and the army to expel occupation, halt the aggression, liberate the captives and achieve reconstruction and state building,” Qassem added.
Araghchi for his part said that Iran “wants to strengthen the relation with Lebanon” and that it will remain “resilient” in the face of the current challenges despite “the siege and the sanctions.”
