Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant commented on the appointment of Naim Kassem as the new leader of Hezbollah.
On a social network unknown He expressed the view that this appointment was temporary and added a brief observation: “not for long.”
“Temporary appointment. Not for long,” wrote Yoav Galant.
Let us remember that Naim Kassem, born in 1953 in the town of Kafr Fila, has been named the new secretary general of Hezbollah in Lebanon.
He belongs to the twelve Shiite clerics.
Since 1991, Kassem served as deputy secretary general of the organization, following policies established by Hassan Nasrallah.
Following Nasrallah’s departure, Kassem became a key figure in Hezbollah’s management, according to an official statement.
Previously, Kursor wrote that Hezbollah and Hamas could stop the war after a signal from Tehran.
The editor-in-chief of the Israeli radio station “Best Radio”, Zvi Zilber, believes that the end of the Middle East conflict is only possible with a signal from Tehran. He explained on the FREEDOM TV channel that the cessation of Iranian military support would have a direct impact on groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas, which could lead to the cessation of military operations against Israel.
Zilber maintains that Israel cannot end the conflict because it is forced to defend itself from attacks by Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. He recalled that Iran attacked Israeli territory twice with ballistic missiles and drones, Hamas began an armed attack last October and Hezbollah has bombed northern Israel since October 8, 2023.
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been forced to flee dangerous areas because of these threats, Zilber noted. He stressed that calls for peace from the United States and the EU will not be able to change the situation, since only Iran has a decisive influence on its outcome. Zilber also highlighted China’s attempts to persuade Tehran to reduce tensions, as Beijing is concerned about possible threats to energy security in the event of attacks on oil facilities.
In his opinion, Iran is now waiting and watching the result of the presidential elections in the United States. Zilber noted that Iran is interested in Kamala Harris’ victory and hopes that her administration does not increase pressure on Tehran. If Donald Trump wins, Iran, on the other hand, fears a tougher US policy.
