Hezbollah member reveals part of speech that was planned by later-slain successor to Nasrallah

Lebanese media reveals portions of a never-delivered speech by Hashem Safieddine, who was to replace slain Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah before his own death in an Israeli airstrike in October.

Safieddine reportedly planned to give his speech upon taking the helm of the Iran-backed Lebanese terror organization, following Israel’s assassination of Nasrallah in late September. But the designated successor was also killed by the Israeli Air Force, just a few days after his boss.

Safieddine was officially laid to rest earlier this week alongside Nasrallah, following a massive funeral that drew mourners in the tens of thousands to Beirut’s largest sports arena.

Hezbollah parliament member Hassan Fadlallah displayed the handwritten document in an interview with the Lebanese al-Mayadeen outlet. It was apparently discovered at the site of the airstrike that killed Safieddine, in the terror group’s Beirut stronghold, Dahieh.

Safieddine’s speech mourns Nasrallah and lauds the so-called unprecedented victories achieved by the slain terror chief. He also derides American support for Israel and condemns “international silence” regarding Israeli offensives in Gaza and Lebanon post-October 7.
