RNA – Hujjat al-Islam Na’im Qasim, the deputy secretary-general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah ‎‎Islamic ‎‎Resistance movement, ‎stated that the positions of the United States in regard to all ‎of the issues in Middle East are cruel, oppressive and are against the interest of the peoples ‎of the region.‎

The Lebanese Shi’ah cleric noted, “The reason for this is if we rely on the United States to ‎resolve the Palestinian issue, President Donald Trump and other American officials have ‎always emphasized that they are supporters of Israel, and the conspiracy of the ‘Deal of the ‎Century’ also seeks to eliminate the issue of Palestine and the Palestinian people.”‎
‎ ‎
Hujjat al-Islam Qasim emphasized that the United States would never be able to change the ‎positions of the Islamic Resistance and said, “If we were to wait for the United States to ‎solve the issue of Syria and to solve the issue of the refugees and other problems regarding ‎the war in Syria, we must not forget that the main cause of the war in Syria is the United ‎States and the recruitment and use of Takfiris from different regions who were used by the ‎United States to destroy Syria.”‎

His Eminence said that the United States has also been the main factor in the prolongation of ‎the war in Syria over a period of seven years, noting, “So far, there has been no solution ‎and it’s possible that it could take several months, or perhaps many years, for the ‎Americans who, at any moment, change their nature and don’t know how to achieve their ‎objectives.”‎

He added, “The people of the region are opposed to the United States but the United States ‎experiences successive defeats and doesn’t want to admit its defeat and engages in the most ‎brutal ways to achieve its objectives and prevent stability from returning to Syria.”‎
‎ ‎
Referring to the reliance of some of Lebanon’s political movements, in particular the March ‎‎14 Alliance, on the Arab Persian Gulf states, Hujjat al-Islam Qasim ‎ said, “If we were to rely ‎on some Arab countries in the Persian Gulf region on the basis of them being Arab countries, ‎they would destroy the region from Syria to Yemen and Iraq in the post-war era. They beg ‎the United States for support to keep their thrones, even if the price is their money and the ‎future of the generations and the lives of all of the people in our region.”‎
