Who Will Replace Hassan Nasrallah As The Hezbollah Group's Next Leader?

The death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has left a major void in the group, which has already lost many key figures to Israeli strikes in recent months. Nasrallah was killed on Friday evening during a massive Israeli assault on southern Beirut. His passing signifies more than just the loss of a leader; he was the face of the Lebanese Shia movement, both to its followers and across the region. Since taking over as Hezbollah’s secretary-general in 1992, Nasrallah led the group for most of its existence, making it hard to find a successor of his stature, especially as Israeli aggression continues, with the possibility of a ground invasion of southern Lebanon looming. Currently, two prominent figures, Hashem Safieddine and Naim Qassem, are seen as the top candidates to take Nasrallah’s place.
