Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem has issued a warning regarding a US-Israeli agenda that seeks to diminish Lebanon and disarm the Resistance.
He made the remarks on Saturday in a ceremony to commemorate the martyred Resistance leader Ali Karaki, asserting the significance of Hezbollah in national defense.
Qassem said that the U.S. and Israel recognize the ceasefire agreement favors Lebanon and its Resistance, prompting unsuccessful pressure to modify it.
Washington seeks a new agreement absolving Israel's past violations, he said, adding that the new agreement's primary goal is disarming the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon to reassure Israel.
Hezbollah chief asserts the U.S. coordinates the war with Israel and aims to expand it regionally.
Qassem added that Israel, under the guise of security, seeks to control and attack any area, while the Resistance maintains a strong position and military strength.
He identified three dangers facing Lebanon, including Israeli occupation in the south, Daesh along the eastern border, and American hegemony seeking to control Lebanon, imposing trusteeship, and undermining its sovereignty.
He warned against dividing Lebanon between Israel and Syria, inciting sectarian strife, and annexing it to regional powers, viewing these as extremely dangerous.
