Qassem promises reevaluation and cooperation

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem has said that Hezbollah “cannot continue with the same pace in all the security, military, political and cultural fields,” promising “a comprehensive evaluation of the previous period.”

“We will work on facing these challenges with the continuation of the resistance as a liberation project and rejecting all forms of occupation, naturalization and normalization according to our available capabilities, while improving what we can, along with our allies, to confront these challenges in various ways,” Qassem added, in an interview with the pro-Hezbollah Eqtidar news portal.

“Hezbollah is a capable and influential party in Lebanon on all levels, along with the Amal Movement and the allies and what they represent. We will work according to our national project to preserve Lebanon's sovereignty and independence and cooperate with the partners from the forces, parties and sects to achieve country's economic rise, rebuild what Israel destroyed, return the depositors' money, confront corruption and corrupts, and build a state of law," Qassem added.

"There is a lot of work for the sake of this generation of men, women and children and for the future generations. We will confront the cultural, political, social and economic challenges with calculated and effective work, and our participation in the first government of President Joseph Aoun's tenure is in this context," Hezbollah's leader went on to say.
