BEIRUT: Hezbollah’s deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem Friday blasted the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS, accusing Washington and partner countries of creating the militant group.
“We hear the world wants to confront ISIS because it represents takfiri terrorism. Who created ISIS? Those who want to fight [ISIS] are the ones who raised and funded ISIS,” Qassem told a local prize distributing ceremony.
His comments came in a statement released by Hezbollah Friday.
Qassem said the U.S. has provided ISIS with weapons and training "starting from Afghanistan all the way to Syria and Iraq.”
Gulf countries, on the other hand, according to the Hezbollah official, “paid a lot of money to make them [ISIS] strong in order to [carry out acts of] sabotage in their name and on behalf of America.”
“And Israel opened hospitals [to ISIS casualties]; and contact between takfiris in Syria’s Qunaitra and Israel is constantly ongoing, uninterrupted, because they are part of this scheme,” Qassem said.
“Therefore, those from the [U.S.-led] coalition who claim to be combating the takfiri scheme are not honest.”
He said the world today was witnessing a confrontation between two schemes: the resistance scheme which is honest, sincere and divine; and the scheme led by the U.S. and Israel, which seeks to plunge men into destruction at all intellectual, political and economic levels.
“God willing, victory shall be the resistance’s," Qassem added.
