He vowed that the resistance will continue until the last breath.

He denounced the bloody criminality on Wednesday, when Israeli strikes killed more than 300 people in Lebanon.

Qassem asserted that the Israeli enemy was defeated on the ground and was unable to carry out a ground invasion.

The call came as Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam instructed security forces to ban the use of weapons by non-state groups.

Qassem's statement came just days before direct talks between Lebanon and Israel were scheduled in Washington.

The U.S. State Department confirmed the talks would address ceasefire discussions.

Netanyahu announced Israel was ready to begin negotiations focusing on disarming Hezbollah.

Qassem framed the Israeli strikes as murderous brutality to cover up its on-field weakness.

The Whistler Newspaper noted that Qassem condemned recent Israeli military actions as bloody criminality.

The call to stop free concessions came amid a complex regional backdrop.

“On Friday, Naim Qassem, the secretary general of Hezbollah, said that they will not accept returning to the pre‑war situation before fighting resumes, and he urged Lebanese officials to stop gratuitous concessions to Israel”
