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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
