Nadene Goldfoot
Naim Qassem is a Lebanese Shia cleric and politician who became Hezbollah’s secretary-general on 29 October 2024, the fourth person to hold the position. He participated in the founding of Hezbollah in 1982, and previously served as the first deputy secretary-general from 1991 to 2024.
He offered the listeners Financial and Rebuilding Support: Qassem promised that the group would fund the reconstruction of homes, promising to build them "more beautifully than they were".
- Continued Resistance: He has consistently pledged that the group will not lay down its weapons or surrender, despite pressure from the U.S. and Israel, emphasizing that the "resistance" will continue to fight.
There have been two major wars going on at the same time. One is Trump's war in the Strait of Hormuz with Iran's present Ayatollah government. The other is the one involving Lebanon and Israel with Hezbollah terrorists turned militaristic. They are affecting each other.
Trump's war opponent says that they will keep on fighting as long as Lebanon keeps on fighting. They will stop only if Lebanon's war has a cease fire.
So if Netanyahu sees fit to return gunfire against Hezbollah, the war in Hormus will commence. Israel will be blamed. What a way for Iran to blackmail Israel !
Netanyahu: Long ‘road to peace’ begins, as Trump says Israel ‘PROHIBITED’ from bombing Lebanon.
10-day ceasefire largely appears to hold even as Lebanese media report Israeli strike on motorcycle; Hezbollah says its ‘finger on the trigger’; wartime restrictions lifted on public.
- Context of Truce Violations: Despite the ceasefire aiming to end six weeks of fighting, Israel has maintained the right to target Hezbollah for "planned, imminent, or ongoing attacks" and has continued to operate in a 10-kilometer security zone along the border.
- "U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran’s foreign minister said Friday that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open to commercial vessels. Iran’s top diplomat Abbas Araghchi said the strategic waterway “is declared completely open,” in line with the new ceasefire in Lebanon, and Trump said the strait is “ready for full passage.”
- However, the impression that this was a truce imposed upon Israel was reinforced by US President Donald Trump, who declared in a Truth Social post that Israel “will not be bombing Lebanon any longer.”
- In Addition, Trump added that the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ships and ports “will remain in full force” until Iran reaches a deal with Washington to end the war. Trump later suggested a second round of direct US-Iran talks could happen this weekend."
- (To continue with talks seems to be futile. Iran cannot be trusted in what they promise.) (They lie.) (Look at the regime they are making a deal with.)"
