Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said: “We meet on the second anniversary of the ascension of the two Messrs. Secretary-Generals (of Quds) with a group of mujahideen, martyrs, men, children, and women. This anniversary is blessed by the high status of the martyrs, blessed by the continuity of the march, and has achieved steadfastness and survival for us.” Sheikh Qassem’s words came during a speech he delivered at the central festival held by Hezbollah, Sunday, September 27, 2026, to commemorate the second anniversary of the martyrdom of the two Secretary-Generals of Hezbollah, the Master of the Nation’s Martyrs, Mr. Hassan Nasrallah, and Mr. Hashem Safi al-Din, at the shrine of the Master of the Nation’s Martyrs. “To Sayyed Nasrallah: You have drawn the landmarks of the road.” Sheikh Qassim, the master of the nation’s martyrs, addressed the nation by saying: “My beloved sir, companion and brother leader in the march of Hezbollah and its resistance, you entered our hearts, filled our minds, and marked the path to our dear life. My beloved sir, you are the resistance, and the resistance is you, and you became its symbol for the free people of the world. My beloved sir, you were the leader and became the inspiring leader of the world.” Sheikh Qassem added: “We will continue on this Alawite approach, the approach of Imam Khomeini, the approach of Imam Khamenei, and the approach of Imam Musa al-Sadr, the approach of guardianship and jihad. Sheikh, Palestine will remain the compass and the liberation of our land as well.” “To Mr. Safi Al-Din: She did not calm down and did not tire.” Sheikh Qassim addressed Mr. Safi al-Din by saying: “My lord, Mr. Hashem Safi al-Din: You were not calm, tireless, or tireless in serving this march. You were a support and assistant to the master of the nation’s martyrs. My lord, Mr. Hashem Safi al-Din, you left us quickly, but your steady steps will remain a landmark in the jihadist march of the resistance and the resistors.” He continued to say: “4 jihadi aides were martyred in the battle of ‘Ula al-Bas’. The jihadi aide, Mr. Fouad Shukr, was among the founders of the resistance work in Hezbollah and had a major contribution in building the resistance formations. The jihadi aide, Hajj Ibrahim Aqeel, has lived a prosperous life in jihadi work since the Israeli invasion and has a major role in establishing the “Al-Radwan Force.” He continued, saying: “The jihadist aide, Hajj Abdel Moneim Karaki, spent more than 4 decades of Islamic work, establishing the first resistance cells, and taking responsibility for the headquarters of the Master of the Martyrs during the period of support. The jihadist aide, Mr. Suhail Hosseini, took over the staff responsibility in 2008 and developed the formations and was the educator and intellectual. The martyr, the Mujahid leader, Sheikh Nabil Qaouq, was a true pillar of the nation’s master of the martyrs, the last of which he assumed several responsibilities. Preventive responsibility. Sheikh Qassim recalled that “the martyr leader Abbas Nilforshan was on the side of the resistance as an aide, a counselor and a leader,” noting that “along with His Eminence Sayyid Al Hashemi, Hajj Murtada, Hajj Adel Muhammad Bahsoun, and Hajj Maher Shaheen were martyred.” Sheikh Qassim directed “a special greeting to the living martyrs, the wounded “Bager” who presented the wonderful example, and to the oppressed prisoners and all the people who surrounded the martyrs and prisoners,” saying: “A salute to the 3,400 male and female martyrs of the resistance fighters and the people.” “We are committed to the covenant: we are committed to the constants.” On the other hand, Sheikh Qassem stated that “Hezbollah’s Shura decided to name the entire stage that began with the Battle of the Powers until today the stage of ‘We are in the covenant,’” explaining: “We are in the covenant” meaning we are continuing, and this means that the leadership that is martyred will be replaced by a leadership that continues the previous approach. “We are in the covenant” meaning we are in the constants.” He added: “We are committed” to remaining committed to the constants, the basis of which is the divine, courageous missionary resistance in the face of aggression, which is an Islamic, national and humanitarian resistance, and we will work to continue it against the enemy so that he can leave our land and achieve liberation for the occupied land. “We are committed” means that we preserve the testimony of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. “We are committed” to preserve national unity and coexistence and take care of people’s issues. “We are committed” to benefit from the previous stages. "We learn lessons and lessons." Sheikh Qassem criticized the behavior of the Lebanese authority, saying: “It seems that they forgot the question: What did the state do? Who repels aggression against a state? The authority orders the army to repel the occupation.” He asserted that "the resistance stopped the goals of aggression in cooperation with the resistance and honorable people," adding: "The resistance proved that the legions were unable to achieve their goals by ending their presence. We are facing "Israel", which America supports with all capabilities. And the resistance fighters were able to confront these huge legions." He said: “Let them (the Zionists) know well that with these resistance fighters and the blood of the master of the nation’s martyrs and these sacrifices, we can only continue and we cannot be defeated.” "3 months of steadfastness in Ali Al-Taher" While the Secretary-General of Hezbollah recalled that “the resistance forces stopped the advance of the brigades and the enemy army,” he explained: “We remained steadfast as much as the field allowed in Bint Jbeil, Naqoura, Aita al-Shaab, Ali al-Tahir, and in every place where there was resistance for an important period of time. In Ali al-Tahir, the steadfastness was for three months, but preserving the place is not the work we are doing.” He added: "We must know well that the resistance is confronted through two things: to confront it in place and time to the extent possible in terms of profit and loss calculations, and to prevent the enemy from settling and establishing the occupation." He stressed that "the leadership's responsibility is to draw up steps that are not clear to the people, and this is normal for a person not to reveal his secrets," indicating that "silence about some details is related to the nature of the management of the battle." He continued, saying: “We are confident in Nasrallah, and he will bring the form of liberation that people like, God willing. The resistance was created only because of aggression.” He warned that "surrendering to the enemy means the end of coexistence in Lebanon and the establishment of settlements in Lebanon," as "the country is our country together and we will not give up a single inch of 10,452 of it, and the future of the country is southern Lebanon. Lebanon is one and my race will be so or not," according to Sheikh Qassem. “The Iranian memorandum of understanding reduced the escalation.” He praised the positive results of the Iranian memorandum of understanding on Lebanon, saying: “Thank God Almighty, in the battle of the “Devouring Storm,” the memorandum reduced the escalation to the level we are witnessing today,” stressing at the same time that “the resistance was able to limit the movement of aggression.” Sheikh Qassim turned to the Zionist enemy and said: “Ask the Lebanese army to be a tool for you, long on your neck. This is a national army.” He warned that Lebanon will disappear without resistance, and the enemy wants all of Lebanon and the strife inside Lebanon and to be attached to the American administration. The Secretary-General of Hezbollah affirmed that “the framework agreement is a shameful waiver of all the cards that this authority could possess and benefit from in an attempt to obtain Lebanon’s rights,” noting that “Sheikh Qassim: The authority is helping the “Israeli”-American project instead of confronting it,” indicating that “the authority is responsible for the continuation of the troubled security situation as a result of the attacks, and it does not benefit from the resistance and steadfastness of the people.” “The president violates the constitution and the Taif Agreement.” While he considered that “the president has the right to negotiate, but he does not have the right to violate the constitution and the Taif Agreement and give up Lebanon’s right to sue the enemy,” Sheikh Qassim called for “an end to concessions,” adding: “We want the president to be an arbitrator and unifier, not to divide the Lebanese.” Sheikh Qassim reiterated that “Hezbollah is ready for dialogue,” asking in return: “But how do we dialogue with those who judged the resistance to be outside the law?” He stressed that “if Israel withdraws today or tomorrow or accepts any action in the interest of Lebanon, this will be the result of the resistance and the memorandum of understanding, not the result of the agreement and the ‘negotiating framework’.” Sheikh Qassim said: “Our resisting people astonished the world, and our resistance performed a legendary performance on the stage of confrontation with the enemy. Our leaders were always in the field and did not change anything.” “We are committed to providing shelter and reconstruction with our capabilities.” The Secretary-General of Hezbollah addressed the resistance crowd by saying: “Oh our people who are suffering from the greatest sacrifices: We know that you are a model of patience and you are cooperating a lot in preserving the march. I announce to you that we are committed to providing shelter and reconstruction with our capabilities and donations, and to urging the state to fulfill its duty.” He wondered: Where is the government regarding the deteriorating economic issue? We have a Ministry of Darkness, not Energy.” "Achieve liberation first" Regarding what is called “weapon exclusivity,” Sheikh Qassim said: “We are ready for dialogue and discussion on the issue of “weapon exclusivity,” addressing the authority by saying: “But achieve liberation first.” Stressing that “people have the right to demonstrate and sit-in,” Sheikh Qassim pointed out that “there is no longer a justice system because of America.” Sheikh Qassem praised “the position of Iran, which presented the leader, Imam Khamenei, who is considered the great symbol of our work and resistance, and it remained steadfast,” stressing at the same time that Sheikh “Palestine will be the symbol and interface for the future.” Likewise, Sheikh Qassim addressed “a greeting to the great Yemeni people and Ansar Allah who stood by Palestine, Iran and Lebanon,” stressing that “the future belongs to the peoples of the region.”
