Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem called for addressing the crisis caused by the judicial investigator into Beirut port blast, Tarek Al-Bitar, through the available Constitutional means–the supreme judiciary council, the parliament, or the government.
Al-Bitar had issued arrest warrants against officials as well as military figures on an illogical basis, pushing the defendants and observers to cast doubts on his probe and demand the competent authorities to recuse him.
On August 4, 2020, a massive blast rocked Beirut Port blast, killing around 195 citizens and injuring over 6000 of others. The explosion also caused much destruction in the capital and its suburbs.
During his visit to the headquarters of the Islamic Scholars Assembly, Sheikh Qassem indicated that inflation problem must be coped with by chasing the currency manipulators and securing the depositors funds.
Sheikh Qassem reiterated that Hezbollah supports holding the parliamentary elections as scheduled in 2022, adding that the Party has started its preparations for the vote.
