Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem said the group does not care who governs Israel and reaffirmed continued resistance, responding to inconclusive Israeli elections.
- Qassem said Hezbollah does not care who governs Israel and that the "usurping entity" must withdraw from Lebanese land.
- Qassem rejected any discussion of disarming while occupation and aggression continue, calling for implementation of the November 27, 2024 agreement and Resolution 1701.
- Qassem called the Iran-US agreement the "only available source of strength" alongside resistance's steadfastness.
- Qassem demanded an end to US "guardianship" over Lebanon, calling it a violation of sovereignty like occupation.
