Beirut: Sheikh Naeem Qassem, Secretary-General of Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, has hailed the recent ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that Gaza's self-sacrifice will be noted in history.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the Hezbollah leader stated that the Palestinian resistance and its people succeeded in defeating the Israeli regime.

'I congratulate the ceasefire, which indicates the resilience of the Palestinian nation and resistance,' Qassem remarked, adding, 'The resistance achieved its objectives, while the enemy failed to accomplish its goals.' He stressed that history will document Gaza's self-sacrifice and the defeat of the Israeli adversary, highlighting that the growing disputes among Zionists indicate that the only solution is returning the occupied Palestinian territories to their rightful owners.

The Hezbollah leader also urged the Lebanese government to address the Zionist regime's numerous aggressions decisively, stating that the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire is confined to the southern area of the Litani River. He emphasized Hezbollah's essential role in obstructing the Israeli regime's efforts to dismantle resistance in Lebanon, asserting that the Lebanese resistance will continue to stand firm against the US-Israeli agenda.

Discussing Lebanon's internal situation following the Zionist regime's aggression, Qassem noted that no one can exploit the regime's assault for internal political gain. He asserted that Hezbollah is a key entity in the country, and its collaboration with the Amal Movement led to the election of Joseph Aoun as Lebanon's president. He warned that any attempt to marginalize the resistance movement from the political sphere is destined to fail.

Qassem also acknowledged the support of the Yemeni people, the Ansarullah movement, the Iraqi nation and their religious leadership, and the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) for Palestine.
