He noted that the regime's ideology, behavior, and vision endanger both regional stability and global peace.
Qassem said that since the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel took effect, the regime has not stopped its aggression and has violated the agreement more than 3700 times.
He stressed that the regime must adhere to the terms it agreed upon with Lebanon and stop its acts of aggression.
The Hezbollah leader said the movement will not be swayed by threats, nor will it accept surrendering its weapons to Israel.
Qassem firmly rejected calls for Hezbollah to disarm, asserting that Lebanon's defense and illusory sovereignty are internal matters, immune to external pressures.
''We will not submit to humiliation, abandon our land, or compromise under threats,'' he stated, stressing that discussions about Hezbollah's weapons are a domestic issue, with no role for Israel in dictating terms.
Qassem said Hezbollah's resistance is a defense against a strategic threat impacting multiple nations, including Paleostine, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, and Jordan.
Describing Israel as an existential danger, Qassem noted, ''Israel's threat is not limited to Moslems; it endangers Christians and Jews as well.''
He criticized the regime's ideology and actions as a risk to global peace and called on those who avoid confronting Israel to resist on humanitarian grounds.
''Coexisting with an expanding, invasive danger is impossible,'' he warned, emphasizing Hezbollah's resistance as rooted in human, Islamic, and national values for future generations.
LEBANESE STATE MUST ADDRESS ONGOING VIOLATIONS
In late June, Qassem stated that Israel's continued aggression, including attacks on Nabatieh, the targeting of civilians in southern Lebanon, and strikes on the money exchange sector, is now the Lebanese state's responsibility to address.
''The state must apply pressure and fulfill its duties,'' he urged, rejecting claims that Hezbollah provides pretexts for Israeli attacks.
He cited Israel's occupation of 600 km of Syrian territory, destruction of capabilities, and attacks on Iran

''You must understand this cannot continue,'' Qassem told the public. ''Do you imagine we will remain silent forever? All of this has limits.''

Saudi news channel Al-Hadath reports, citing unnamed sources, that approximately 4,000 Hezbollah operatives, including fighters, commanders, and senior figures, were killed during the Lebanon-based terror group’s war with Israel, which ended in a ceasefire in November 2024.
On top of that, the report says around 2,000 others deserted following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in September last year.
Despite these losses, the report claims Hezbollah still maintains a force of approximately 60,000 members.
The outlet also reports that 80% of the territory south of Lebanon’s Litani River — once under Hezbollah’s exclusive control — is now controlled by the Lebanese Armed Forces. The terms of the ceasefire require that Hezbollah maintain no control in that area.
It says Hezbollah has also shut down most of its training centers in the Beqaa Valley and southern Lebanon, and much of its medium and heavy-grade weaponry has either been destroyed by Israeli strikes or seized by the Lebanese army.
