Naim Qassem, the new leader of Hezbollah, addressed the media, expressing a conciliatory stance towards a ceasefire deal while blaming Israel for its failure. Despite his defiant tone, experts suggest Hezbollah is significantly weakened and may struggle to maintain its resilience. Qassem's leadership is questioned, with analysts noting that he may not have much authority and could face 'martyrdom' rather than victory. The ongoing conflict has severely impacted Hezbollah's structure and effectiveness as an Iranian proxy.
