Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has declared that Israel must unconditionally withdraw from all Lebanese territory it occupies. In a televised address to tens of thousands of supporters, Qassem rejected any normalization of ties between Lebanon and Israel, emphasizing that Israel must leave 'humiliated and defeated.'

Unconditional Withdrawal Demanded

During a speech marking Ashura, Qassem stated, 'Israel has no option but to withdraw completely from every inch of our Lebanese land... Israel must leave unconditionally.' He stressed that Hezbollah would not accept any form of normalization, cancellation of the state of hostility, gains for Israel, or partial presence on Lebanese soil.

Context of Ongoing Talks

Qassem's remarks come as Lebanese and Israeli officials engage in direct talks in Washington. Despite these negotiations, Qassem made it clear that Hezbollah's stance remains firm: Israel's complete and unconditional withdrawal is non-negotiable.

Hezbollah's Stance on Normalization

The Hezbollah leader explicitly rejected any form of normalization with Israel. He asserted that there would be 'no normalisation, no cancellation of the state of hostility, no gains for Israel, and no partial presence on Lebanese soil.'

Future Prospects

Qassem's address indicates that Hezbollah is unwavering in its demand for Israel's complete withdrawal from Lebanon. The group's position suggests a continued state of hostility and resistance until Israel complies with these demands.
