Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said Tuesday there is "no obstacle" to a public meeting with Syrian officials.
"There is no obstacle to holding a public meeting between Hezbollah and the Syrian leadership at a suitable time," Qassem said in a televised speech on the group’s al-Mayadeen television.
Hezbollah publicly entered Syria’s civil war in 2013 in support of Bashar Assad. As its confrontation with Israel intensified in 2024, the group withdrew a large portion of its fighters back to Lebanon.
The subsequent lightning offensive by Syrian opposition forces and the collapse of the Assad regime in December 2024 effectively brought Hezbollah’s military presence in Syria to an end.
"We emphasize the importance and necessity of a fraternal, positive, and cooperative relationship between Lebanon and Syria," Qassem claimed.
