Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem delivered a speech on Tuesday morning on the occasion of the Arba'in commemorations, according to the Lebanese outlet Abu Ali Express. In his address, Qassem asserted that Israel achieved political gains but failed to secure results on the ground as long as the 'resistance' continues. He called for cooperation between Lebanon and Syria, stating that a stable Syria is a support for Lebanon and vice versa. Qassem expressed openness to a public meeting between Hezbollah and the Syrian leadership at the appropriate time, with the consent of both sides.
The speech is the latest in a series of statements by Qassem today. Earlier, as The Zioneer reported, Qassem said the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran leads to an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon (10:48), and later declared that 'Iran won, and America failed' (11:06). The Arba'in address reinforces Hezbollah's narrative of resilience while signaling a willingness to engage with Syria's current leadership.
