Following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Naeem Qasim has been elected as the organization’s new interim leader.
Media reports indicate that Qasim’s appointment comes in the wake of the Israeli airstrikes in Beirut that resulted in the deaths of Nasrallah, his daughter Zainab, and senior leader Ali Karaki.
There is speculation that Hashem Safi al-Din may be appointed as the new permanent leader of the movement.
Who is Hashem Safi al-Din?
Hashem Safi al-Din serves as the head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, overseeing the group’s political affairs. He is also part of Hezbollah’s Jihad Council, which manages its military operations. Given his familial ties to Hassan Nasrallah, there is a strong possibility that he will be selected as the new leader of the organization.
