Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said Palestine will remain the movement's "compass," vowing that resistance against what he described as Israeli aggression and occupation would continue, according to Iran's state news agency IRNA.
Qassem's remarks, delivered from Tehran, reaffirm Hezbollah's long-stated position linking its own struggle to the Palestinian cause, a stance the group has maintained across decades of conflict with Israel.
The comments come amid continued regional tension involving Hezbollah, Israel, and allied actors across Lebanon and the wider Middle East, with the Iran-backed group repeatedly framing its activities as tied to broader resistance against Israeli policy.
Regional context
Hezbollah has positioned itself for years as part of a broader regional alignment described as the "axis of resistance," alongside Iran and other allied groups. Qassem's latest comments reiterate that framing, tying the group's continued armed posture to developments involving Israel and the Palestinian territories.
No additional operational details were provided regarding what forms this continued "resistance" would take going forward.
