Hezbollah has appointed Naim Qassem as its new leader

 


Hezbollah has appointed Naim Qassem as its new leader, succeeding Hassan Nasrallah. The decision was made by Hezbollah's Shura Council, with Qassem being named the new secretary-general. Qassem, who has been deputy leader since 1991, will take over the leadership role following Nasrallah's assassination by Israel a month ago. Despite initially being an unexpected choice, Qassem, in his early 70s and a former chemistry teacher, has been selected to lead the Lebanese militant group. The prevailing belief among analysts was that the likely candidate would be Hashem Safieddine, who is a cousin of Nasrallah. However, he was slain in a distinct Israeli airstrike on Beirut in early October.

Qassem's appointment "suggests a continuation rather than a shift for both Hezbollah and its supporter Iran," remarked Lina Khatib, an associate fellow at Chatham House, a think tank headquartered in London. The statement conveys a sense of comfort to Hezbollah's supporters and determination to its adversaries. He, as stated by Khatib, is the most seasoned in politics and the most prominent figure among the remaining leaders of Hezbollah. The organization has pledged to dismantle the state of Israel. In October of last year, it initiated attacks on Israel using missiles and drones, immediately following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Its stated goal is to provide assistance to Hamas in Gaza with the intention of pressuring Israel into agreeing to a ceasefire in the region. Both Hezbollah and Hamas receive support from Iran and are recognized as terrorist entities by the United States, along with numerous other nations. While the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah had been relatively stable, with mass evacuations occurring on either side of the Israel-Lebanon border, the situation escalated recently.
