Hezbollah will choose a leader to succeed Hassan Nasrallah – who was killed by an Israeli strike in Beirut on Friday – “as soon as possible,” the group’s highest-ranking official said in a televised speech on Monday.
“We will choose a secretary general for the party as soon as possible and according to the mechanism previously adopted by the party. And we will fill the leadership positions. Be reassured that the options will be easy,” Naim Qassim said in the group’s first public address since Nasrallah’s assassination.
