08:52 13-04-2026 Sheikh Qassem: This is part of a series of free concessions made by the authorities, which have proven in practice to be losing concessions. That they use to humiliate us, and that they cause the government and the people of Lebanon to lose.
08:51 13-04-2026 Sheikh Qassem: This is part of a series of free concessions made by the authorities, which have proven in practice to be losing concessions. That they use to humiliate us, and that they cause the government and the people of Lebanon to lose.
08:49 13-04-2026 Sheikh Qassem: We reject negotiations with the occupying entity, and these negotiations are futile. They require Lebanese consensus to shift the direction from not negotiating to direct negotiation.
08:48 13-04-2026 Sheikh Qassem: The decision of the resistance is not to calm down or surrender the battlefield speaks for itself.
08:47 13-04-2026 Sheikh Qassem: Let us confront the aggression together, and afterwards we can agree on the future and everything else.
08:46 13-04-2026 Sheikh Qassem: PM, what have those who have been pressuring Lebanon since your government was formed actually offered? All their demands amount to igniting internal unrest and providing justifications for the enemy.
08:45 13-04-2026 Sheikh Qassem: Mr. President, they are pressuring you to confront your own people, while we stand together as sons of one country- building and establishing it together.
08:43 13-04-2026 Sheikh Qassem: This is not a battle over the security of the north, but an act of aggression aimed at devouring Lebanon and destroying its strength, people, and resistance.
08:42 13-04-2026 Sheikh Qassem: Because we are existentially targeted, because our homeland is targeted within the “Greater Israel” scheme, and because we believe in the sovereignty of our country… we decided to confront and defend Lebanon and its people.
08:41 13-04-2026 Sheikh Qassem: About 500 civilians were martyred, many others were injured, homes were destroyed, and we remained patient, but diplomacy did not advance.
