Key Highlights from the Speech:
Regional Conflict: Qassem stated that the "Israeli enemy, with American support," is targeting the region, but argued that Israel has failed to take any steps toward achieving a "Greater Israel," even with global backing.
National Sovereignty: He called on the Lebanese authorities to strengthen national unity and sovereignty, activate the role of the army, and address crises in accordance with the constitution.
Military Stance: Qassem rejected the idea of any "Yellow Line" or "Buffer Zone," stating they will never exist. He noted that the resistance has adopted tactics suited for the current stage, utilizing "hit-and-run" methods to prevent the enemy from stabilizing its positions.
Rejection of Direct Talks: He described direct negotiations as a "free concession" that serves Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s desire for a "victory image" and aids Donald Trump ahead of the midterm elections.
Diplomatic Path: While rejecting direct talks, he expressed support for "indirect negotiation diplomacy" aimed at ending the aggression. He concluded that the solution does not lie in "re-engineering Lebanon politically and militarily as a weak country under foreign guardianship."
