Report: Hezbollah is being run by 'collective leadership'
Hezbollah is currently being run by a “collective leadership,” sources informed on Hezbollah’s situation told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, in response to reports about the successor of the group’s slain leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs.
The name of the head of Hezbollah’s political council, Sayyed Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyed, has begun to be circulated in Lebanon as a potential successor to Nasrallah, days after Israeli reports said that the head of the party’s executive council, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine had been killed in a massive Israeli airstrike on Dahieh.
However, the sources told the daily that the reports are baseless, telling Asharq al-Awsat: “No one is currently a candidate to succeed Nasrallah. Not Safieddine, neither Sayyed nor any other figure. The current leadership is collective.”
