Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV Report On 'Former And Incumbent MPs, As Well As Party Leaders And Cultural Figures From Europe' Meeting With Hizbullah Deputy Sec.-Gen. Naim Qassem - MEMRI

by MEMRI

On November 2, 2015, Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV aired a report about a meeting in Lebanon between "former and incumbent MPs as well as party leaders and cultural figures from Europe" and Hizbullah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, in what the channel termed a "show of solidarity with the resistance in its fight against terrorism." In the report, an interpreter translates statements to reporters by former Belgian MP Laurent Louis as follows: "The Western leaders' collaboration with terrorism has been exposed, despite their false claims that they are protecting democracy and human rights."

According to other sources, the group, which was also to visit Damascus,[1] met with former Lebanese president Emile Lahoud,[2] as well as with Gen. Mustafa Hamdan.[3]

Over the past decade, MEMRI TV has released numerous clips of Hizbullah Deputy Secretary-General Qassem; some of these are listed below.
