According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News agency, since Sheikh Naim Qassem assumed the position of Secretary-General of Hezbollah following the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, former Secretary-General, there has been considerable speculation internationally about Hezbollah’s future political, cultural, and security approaches as well as its command mechanisms.Naturally,the new secretary-general’s policies will substantially impact the nature of Hezbollah’s future activities. recently, a newly established Lebanese magazine named “Eqtadar” conducted an interview with Sheikh naim Qassem in its inaugural issue.The full transcript offers a detailed clarification and clarification of Hezbollah’s forthcoming policies.
Q: You spent a lifetime alongside Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (May God have mercy on him) in jihad and struggle since Hezbollah’s founding. Could you please describe how your initial acquaintance developed and how your joint leadership evolved?
The early activities of Sayyed Martyrs’ Leader Hassan Nasrallah date back to Hezbollah’s establishment in 1982 in Lebanon’s Bekaa region. At that time, my involvement began separately from his work; I was active in Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahiya), without any direct collaboration between us initially. After some time observing his prominent efforts-and due to my membership on Hezbollah’s second council in 1984-I met him; he had also heard about my activities.
Our genuine acquaintance deepened when we both served on hezbollah’s leadership council.During internal structural reforms in 1989, the office of Secretary-General was established. At that time,Nasrallah was elected head of the Executive Council while I served as his deputy. Our joint efforts began then formally; after several months leading this council he traveled to iran to complete seminary studies in qom while I acted as his replacement during this period.
A few months later he returned to lebanon because of certain issues and resided in Kislaya [El-tuffah area]. Throughout this time we maintained interaction regarding developments. In 1991 when Sayyed Abbas Mousavi became secretary-general of Hezbollah again Nasrallah resumed chairmanship over the Executive Council and proposed me for deputy secretary-general-the first such post created at that time.
Following Abbas Mousavi’s martyrdom on February 16th, 1992,Hassan nasrallah was appointed Secretary-General himself and nominated me as his deputy once more – a position I held continuously until his death despite various adjustments within decision-making councils.
This partnership lasted thirty-five years with me as his deputy for three decades plus half a year during which we interacted daily across numerous meetings-he frequently enough entrusted me with many responsibilities representing him at conferences or delivering speeches until after Lebanon’s civil war our first parliamentary elections took place under His leadership.His early tenure requested I oversee parliamentary affairs related to representatives-which fell under his jurisdiction-and approximately eighteen months later at his proposal,the party approved assigning those duties formally under Deputy Secretary-General missions.”
“We always shared understanding without raising voices against each other even though minor differences occasionally arose but following discussion,I deferred as he was our commander & leader.I appreciated being close to him due to tangible benefits gained including tracking ongoing developments.I cannot recall occasions where operational requests by me were rejected since he consistently trusted my assessments.He allowed full autonomy when delegating tasks without ever intervening midway.”
“We shared mutual trust infused with strong faith & affection openly expressed repeatedly.He explained viewpoints knowing they would be received positively.once if engaging parliamentarians for assignments issued directives through others,but instantly briefed me directly so that no neglect occurred.”
“If you ask any officials within councils or across Hizbollah ranks including external persons,whether open disputes ever erupted between us,you will hear none.Hassan was kind-hearted,moral,and humble paying fraternity respect.Even though possessing towering military qualities,no grounds existed causing divisions or challenges between us.”
Q: Could you elaborate on characteristics combining faith-led leadership & jihadi worldview embodied by sayyed martyr leader? How can these offer deeper insight into him? Can they serve as guidance models?
