Hezbollah's Nasrallah refutes health rumors, slams Ben-Gvir
Hassan Nasrallah praised internal efforts to choose a Lebanese president, but criticized attempts to link the issue to geopolitical developments.
Following a cancellation of a televised speech last Friday and rumors about his health, Lebanon Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah appeared on TV this week, denying that he is ill.
“I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry at all,” Nasrallah said in an address to mark the third anniversary of the assassination of Qassem Soleimani.
Nasrallah, 62, explained his cough during the video as a “trachea allergy.” He dismissed rumors in Israeli and other media that he had a stroke and was severely ill.
In his speech on Tuesday, he praised the internal efforts to elect a Lebanese president. In parallel, he criticized linking the presidential file to other geopolitical matters, such as the Iranian nuclear deal, stressing that they are not related.
