RNA – Speaking to the al-Manar television channel, Hujjat al-Islam Na’im Qasim, the deputy secretary-general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah Islamic Resistance movement, noted the defeat of the United States in Syria and said, “The United States and its allies are incapable of designing a plan for their future due to their huge failure and not reaching the goals they planned for.”
The Shi’ah cleric added, “The recent visit by Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of State of the United States, to the region was to cover up their defeat in Syria and give hope to its allies.”
Mentioning the trip to Lebanon by David Hale, the United States Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Hujjat al-Islam Qasim noted, “David Hale clearly knows that he cannot force Lebanon and its officials to do what the United States wants. Those who supported Takfiri and Terrorist groups in the region and don’t care about Zionist regime’s daily aggressions against Lebanon are not in a position to advise people.”
His Eminence reiterated, “The future of Lebanon must be built by the hands of the Lebanese people themselves and the amy, people and the Islamic Resistance Forces are capable of protecting Lebanon. It’s best for Lebanon not to trust the vicious plans of the United States that are aimed at destroying the region.”
“The key to Lebanon’s problems is in the hand of the people,” he said, adding, “Increasing tensions in Lebanon will result in increasing financial, social and livelihood problems. Therefore, the Lebanese government must be formed soon as possible.”
Hujjat al-Islam Qasim said, “Some have forgotten that the main and greatest problem of the region is the Zionist regime itself. Israel’s mere existence and their daily offenses and aggressions against Palestine are the main problems of the Middle East. The Zionist regime is behind most of the problems in the region. So, as long as the Zionist regime exists, the Middle East’s problems will never be solved.”
