Hezbollah Appoints Naim Qassem as New Leader, Succeeding Nasrallah

Hezbollah Appoints Naim Qassem as New Leader Succeeding Nasrallah

Hezbollah has announced the appointment of Naim Qassem as its new head, succeeding Hassan Nasrallah as secretary-general of the Lebanon-based armed group. Qassem’s promotion from deputy leader comes in the wake of Nasrallah’s death in late September due to an Israeli strike in Beirut. The move follows a series of targeted actions against senior Hezbollah officials as Israel intensifies its focus on the group.

In a statement, Hezbollah emphasized Qassem’s election as a testament to his “adherence to the principles and goals of Hezbollah.” The group also expressed hopes that God would guide him in his “noble mission” of leading Hezbollah and its Islamic resistance. This transition marks a significant moment for Hezbollah as it navigates ongoing regional challenges.
