Lebanon (IP) - The Deputy Secretary-General of Lebanon's Hezbollah says as long as the country is powerful, Netanyahu's threats are of no significance.

Iran PressMiddle East: Sheikh Naim Qassem said in a speech on Thursday that the Israeli regime was created by the US and other Western countries to intervene in the region's future, wealth, and resources to supply their own interests. 

Sheikh Naim said: "When the Westerners are looking for an achievement without direct costs, they use Israel as a cudgel; The philosophy of the regime's creation is the realization of criminal goals that have nothing to do with humanity, human rights, and the interests of nations."

"From our point of view, Israel is a usurper, criminal, and occupier enemy that must be ousted from Palestine," he noted. 

The deputy leader of Hezbollah then referred to the recent Israeli election and said that it made no difference who became the regime's prime minister because it would never change the nature of the regime. 

The Israeli parliamentary election was held on November 1; according to the results, Benjamin Netanyahu's party managed to win 64 seats out of 120 seats of the Knesset.
