Sheikh Naim Qassem, the deputy secretary-general of Hezbollah, criticized stances adopted by certain Arab countries and reiterated that the resistance forces in Lebanon are in full readiness to confront with any potential aggression by the Zionist regime, Al-Minar TV network reported.

Speaking in the 9th anniversary ceremony of Resistance forces’ victory in Lebanon, he called on the Lebanese government to raise the issue of Israeli spying networks in all international communities to pave the way for punishing the Zionist regime.

Addressing Arab officials, Qassem said, “If you are not able to resist, if for any reason you are not able to support resistance and if you are afraid of ‘Israel’ and its power as well as America and its dominance, at least remain silence and do not offer humiliating proposals.”

“I challenge all members of March 14 Group (supported by America and certain western countries) and ask them to state even one case that one of the opposition leaders (March 8 Group) had announced officially or in media their desire for decreasing the Lebanese president’s tenure,” he added.

Qassem urged members of March 14 Group to accept what people select.
