‘Hezbollah fully committed to ceasefire’
Sheikh Naim Qassem

Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah secretary general Sheikh Naim Qassem said that they are fully committed to the November 27 ceasefire agreement with Israel, although the Tel Aviv regime frequently violates the deal.  

“No violations of the ceasefire agreement have been recorded against us, whilst the Israeli side has infringed upon it more than 3,000 times,” he said in a televised speech broadcast from the Lebanese capital Beirut on Monday evening.  

Sheikh Naim Qassem called on the Lebanese government to act promptly, stressing that responsibility rests with state officials to follow up on the ceasefire agreement implementation by urging the United States and France, as guarantors of the cessation of hostilities agreement, to compel Israel to immediately cease its attacks.

He pointed to the ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon, stating that the latest aerial attack on a building in the southern suburbs of Beirut was carried out with the US green light and support.

“The United States has interests in Lebanon. It must realize that its interests cannot be spared once Lebanon’s stability is in jeopardy,” Sheikh Qassem said.

He called on the Lebanese government to send a letter to the United Nations, summon the US Ambassador to Beirut Lisa Johnson, and use every single forum to shed light on the repercussions of Israeli assaults on Lebanon.
