Accoridng to Al Manar English webiste, Sheikh Qassem made the comments in a statement released on Thursday to mark the anniversary of Imam Khomeini’s passing, where he stressed that “Lebanon’s resistance was inspired by Imam Khomeini’s thought in liberating land from occupation.”
The Hezbollah leader added that, ‘We thank Iran for supporting our efforts to reclaim our land and defend our rights against Israeli-US aggression, despite the major challenges it faces, while also working to preserve the ceasefire and secure a comprehensive end to hostilities in Lebanon as part of ending the aggression against Iran.”
He continued that, “The outcome of the direct negotiations is absurd, humiliating, and rejected in Lebanon, as reflected in the Washington statement outlining US-Israeli principles for Lebanon’s submission to the project of ‘“Greater Israel’.”
Qassem went on to stress that, “Making the disarmament of the resistance the basis of any agreement means weakening Lebanon and threatening its existence, destabilising the country, sowing internal division in “Israel’s” interest, allowing it to achieve politically what it failed to achieve by war.”
