The Hezbollah deputy chief says his organization is ready for any confrontation with Israel, but that a war "was not in Israel's interest" following its "defeat" in the Second Lebanon War in 2006.
Asked his opinion on the recent election results in Israel, Naim Qassem told French newspaper Le Figaro that he saw "no difference between [Tzipi] Livni, [Ehud] Barak and [Benjamin] Netanyahu." He added that "Israel remains an aggressor state."
Qassem further reiterated the intention of Hezbollah to avenge the assassination of the organization's senior military figure Imad Mughniyah. "We have no doubt that Israel is behind the murder. We vowed to respond. It is our right," he said.
