Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem hailed on Wednesday President Donald Trump’s recent midterm defeat, describing it as “an opportunity” for his Iran-backed Lebanese movement and other opponents of the US in the region.
Trump’s Republican Party suffered massive losses in last week’s elections, in which the Democrats seized control of Congress.
The president has admitted that the war he launched with Israel against Iran in February was a key factor in the defeat. Trump was defeated in the elections… an earthquake has occurred in America,” Qassem said in a speech broadcast live to supporters. “The one confronting Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen… has lost,” he added, arguing that Trump could “no longer continue as is”. “His defeat has ramifications for us that are in a way positive.” He added that Israeli caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “has been broken” after he too suffered a loss in a recent election.
