Naim Qassem out as Hezbollah’s secretary-general by April 30, 2026?

“Hezbollah leadership changes are rare; Qassem has been deputy since 1991 with no signs of imminent departure. Internal stability and external pressures make forced removal unlikely in next 25 days.”

“Leadership changes in Hezbollah are infrequent and often tied to significant internal or external pressures. With no major recent events suggesting a change, the likelihood of Qassem being out by April 30, 2026, is relatively low.”

“Naim Qassem became Hezbollah's secretary-general in late 2024 after Nasrallah's death. Leadership changes in Hezbollah are rare and typically occur due to death or major crises. With only 25 days left, unlikely to change.”
