Hezbollah Secretary-General: "Trump and Netanyahu have been defeated - their project has collapsed"

In depth

Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem delivered a speech in which he claimed that US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been defeated. According to him, Iran and the resistance organizations have achieved victory. In the speech, Qassem celebrated what he called the "defeat" of the two.

Qassem addressed the results of the elections in Israel and the United States and claimed that they constitute a defeat for Netanyahu and Trump, alongside a victory for Iran and the terrorist organizations it supports. According to him, "Trump was defeated in the elections, today an earthquake occurred in the US." He said Trump's project had broken, and that the election results create an opportunity for the Iranian axis.

In a speech marking "Martyrs' Day," Qassem rejected any possibility of the organization disarming, and conditioned future understandings on Israeli army withdrawal and an end to US "guardianship." He threatened military escalation, demanded that the Lebanese government withdraw from the framework agreement with Israel, and called for an end to the war in Yemen. In addition, he attacked foreign embassies in Lebanon and called for them to be silenced.
