Hezbollah says Lebanon disarmament plan serves Israel, vows to keep weapons
Briefly

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem cautioned the Lebanese government against pursuing disarmament of the group, claiming it would lead the country to ruin. He emphasized that Hezbollah will fight to retain its weapons as long as aggression and occupation persist. Qassem accused the government of acting on American-Israeli orders, risking civil war and internal chaos. He insisted on unity and sovereignty among the Lebanese people, warning that any attempt to eliminate Hezbollah would ultimately bear serious consequences for Lebanon's future. Qassem highlighted the group's support from Iran and condemned external pressures against Hezbollah.
"The government is implementing an American-Israeli order to end the resistance, even if it leads to civil war and internal strife."
"The resistance will not surrender its weapons while aggression continues, occupation persists, and we will fight it if necessary to confront this American-Israeli project."
"We live in dignity together, and we build its sovereignty together or Lebanon will have no life if you stand on the other side and try to confront us and eliminate us."
"Qassem urged the government not to hand over the country to an insatiable Israeli aggressor or an American tyrant with limitless greed."
