In a speech, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said U.S ...Qassem questioned who would protect Lebanon if Hezbollah were disarmed, asking who could guarantee that Israel would not violate every part of Lebanese territory.
17 (Xinhua) -- Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem expressed support for Iran on Saturday and criticised the United States, accusing Washington of trying to dominate other nations and interfere in their internal affairs.
Citing what appeared to be Israeli security sources, the report said Hezbollah had planned to deploy thousands of fighters from around 30 south Lebanon villages along the border.
Whatever happens in Iran, now is a great moment to take aim at the main pillars of Hezbollah's domestic power, particularly the financial and political infrastructure that fuel the group's ongoing threats to Lebanon, Israel, and the wider region.
A day later, during a meeting with the ambassadors of the five-nation contact group for Lebanon, Salam stated that the government is still determined to implement the plan for disarming Hezbollah north of the Litani River.
