Hezbollah Secretary-General Speech, 6 November 2024

🟡🟢 Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem in his speech today, November 6th, 2024. Via RNN:

Today, we commemorate the 40th day since the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, a noble leader who walked the path of Allah.

The martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah built a party that unites all segments of society, a party for the young and old, the free and the honorable, the intellectuals, and the workers.

He established a party that resists the enemy and works to build the nation through its institutions within the internal political landscape.

Hezbollah is structured and spans all fields—cultural, political, jihadist, educational, and healthcare—this is the party that Sayyed Nasrallah built.

The resistance in Hezbollah is a firm foundation in terms of numbers, strength, specialization, courage, and defiance against formidable enemies.

Sayyed Nasrallah is alive among us, both in life and in his martyrdom, and he will remain with us as we remain with him. The resistance will endure and grow.

Sayyed Nasrallah received the highest medals, including the Medal of Resistance Leader, the Medal of Beloved of the Mujahideen, the Medal of Lovers of Hussein (peace be upon him), and the Medal of the Devoted Son of Wilaya. He was also the father of the martyr Hadi, and the leader of an era of victories, opening the path to Al-Quds.

We are facing an “israeli” war on Lebanon that began approximately 40 days ago, following the war of support for the last year.

Gaza will remain steadfast and resilient, standing strong and tall, and will ultimately triumph.

Netanyahu refuses to set an end date for the war, as he pursues a plan extending beyond Gaza, Palestine, and Lebanon, aiming to reshape the Middle East.

Netanyahu’s goals in his aggression against Lebanon include three steps: first, to end Hezbollah’s presence, second, to occupy Lebanon even from afar. The third goal is to alter the map of the Middle East.

Netanyahu does not understand that he faces a resistance rooted in strong faith, with martyrdom-seeking fighters who do not fear death.

Key factors of the resistance include weapons, capabilities, and training.

The occupation also relies on its ground “army,” which is ineffective as it fears close combat and faces a resolute resistance along the borders.

Only the field itself can halt the aggression on the borders, along with the internal “israeli” front.

We have tens of thousands of trained fighters capable of confrontation and endurance, with the necessary resources for an extended period.

“Israel” will suffer from the rockets and drones; no place in the entity is off-limits, and what is coming will be even greater.

We will force the enemy to seek an end to its aggression on its own, focusing on the battlefield rather than political maneuvering.

Hezbollah does not count on U.S. elections, which hold no value to us.

We rely on the battlefield, where the occupation is at a disadvantage. We will prevent it from achieving its goals.

The power of the resistance lies in its persistence, despite military disparities, with the strength of will and confrontation, making us stronger.

Our exclusive option is to prevent the occupation from reaching its objectives, and in our vocabulary, resistance continues unbroken. Our vocabulary includes only dignity, and our fighters will bow to none but Allah ; they will inevitably prevail. Our vocabulary includes patience, endurance, and remaining on the battlefield until victory. Defeat is not an option.

Netanyahu cannot win; he will be defeated.

When the enemy decides to cease its aggression, negotiations will occur indirectly through the Lebanese state and Speaker Nabih Berri, the flagbearer of political resistance.

Any negotiation is based on two pillars: halting aggression and safeguarding Lebanese sovereignty.

[Commenting on the IOF breach in Batroun]: It is a severe offense to Lebanon and a violation of its sovereignty. I call on the Lebanese army to protect the maritime borders and provide an explanatory stance on the reasons for this breach in Batroun.

A people and resistance led by the martyr Sayyed Nasrallah will reach victory with their heads held high.

The era of defeats is over; the era of victories has come, and we will prevail, even if it takes time.

The enemy attempts a war of attrition, but we are steadfast, no matter how long the struggle lasts.

Lebanon, with its resistance, army, and people, stands strong. Though it endures pain, it also inflicts pain on the enemy.
