Hezbollah Leader: We Are Ready For War And Will Not Disarm

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said today (Friday) in a defiant televised speech that Hezbollah will not give its weapons "to Israel" or disarm so long as Israel represents any sort of threat, according to a report by Kann News.

Qassem also alleged that Israel, the United States, "and ISIS" controls Lebanon, and that Hezbollah is willing to sacrifice for honor and the independence of Lebanon, "so long as we have breath."

Qassem also mocked American efforts at ensuring Hezbollah disarmament, alleging that the US is demanding Hezbollah disarm while Israel may mor may not hold up its end of the deal at its pleasure, especially in withdrawing from the outposts it holds inside Lebanese territory to keep an eye on Hezbollah.
