Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Naaim Qassem stated that the outcome of Israel's recent elections and the composition of its new government are irrelevant to the organization's operations against Israel. Qassem emphasized that internal political changes in Israel do not concern Hezbollah's leadership, asserting, "We are not concerned with who rules Israel." However, he issued a threat, stating, "Let it be absolutely clear that it cannot continue the occupation and must withdraw from our land."
Qassem also dismissed any possibility of disarming Hezbollah, rejecting diplomatic solutions aimed at stripping the group of its military assets. He declared that the "resistance will continue and stand against the aggression directed against it and against Lebanon." He linked the group's continued possession of its arsenal to the ongoing conflict, stating, "There is no place to discuss disarming Hezbollah as long as the occupation and aggression continue."
