According to Al-Manar TV, Sheikh Naim Qassem made the remarks while addressing the launch ceremony of the book “Singing and Music – Studies by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei”, where he also maintained that the US administration and its envoy Thomas Barrack must know that they must stop threatening to eliminate Lebanon strength and making it part of ‘Greater Israel’.

“Despite international collusion, ‘Israel’ has not and will not achieve its goals,” he maintained, “Netanyahu can say he kills everywhere, but he cannot say he has stabilized and that the future belongs to the Israeli entity.”

“When Netanyahu proposes ‘Greater Israel’, it’s in the service of Greater America, as we see what Trump is doing around the world.”

“Lebanon cannot give ‘Israel’ or America what they want, as long as there is a proud people willing to make great sacrifices,” Sheikh Qassem said, “We are at a stage of conflict filled with pain and hope, because Israel has not achieved its goals and will not achieve its goals.”

Sheikh Qassem indicated that Lebanon’s stability can be achieved by stopping Israel’s aggression, adding: “Lebanon must remain a sovereign, free, dignified, independent, strong, and capable nation.”

“Whoever thinks that disarming Hezbollah will end the problem is mistaken, because Hezbollah’s arms are part of Lebanon’s strength, and they don’t want Lebanon to be strong, ” Sheikh Qassem stressed, “We are not affected by threats. Implement the agreement; Lebanon has implemented it. All maneuvers and pressures are a waste of time.”

Hezbollah Secretary General called on the Lebanese government to protect the national sovereignty and assume its responsibilities regarding the reconstruction file.

“The Governor of Lebanon’s Central Bank is not an American employee to restrict citizens’ access to their money. The government must set limits for him.”

The Minister of Justice is not a judicial officer for America and ‘Israel’, and he must stop preventing citizens from finishing their transactions, Sheikh Qassem maintained.

“Is Lebanon a prison for its citizens managed by America?”

Sheikh Qasssem emphasized, “We do not accept that Lebanon be a prison, nor that anyone be under the command and administration of America.”
