Nasrallah denies rumors of poor health, decries new Israeli government

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah gives a live speech on the anniversary of the assassination of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

Nasrallah begins by shutting down rumors about his poor health, noting that despite reports in Israeli media that he had a stroke or was near death, “I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry at all.”

The Hezbollah chief also addressed the new Israeli government, as well as the controversial visit to the Temple Mount this morning by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

“The new Israeli government is a government of corrupt criminals and extremists,” Nasrallah says according to a translation by the Lebanese Naharnet site.

He also says that any “harm against al-Aqsa might blow up the entire region,” and issues a message to the international community to “rein in those crazy officials in Israel” in order to prevent war.
