Hezbollah’s new leader Naim Qassem threatened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s life on Wednesday, but also appeared to open the door to a ceasefire with Israel, in his first speech since his appointment was announced on Monday.

“The enemy must know that its bombing of our villages and cities will not make us retreat, and the resistance is strong and was able to deliver a drone to Netanyahu’s room,” Qassem said.

“Netanyahu survived this time, but perhaps his time has not yet come,” Qassem said, going on to suggest that “perhaps an Israeli will kill him, perhaps during one of his speeches.”

“Our diplomatic contacts confirmed to us that Netanyahu is very afraid because we are targeting him,” he added.

He was referring to a drone strike earlier this month on the prime minister’s private residence in Caesarea. The drone hit and cracked the fortified window of Netanyahu’s bedroom and caused some external damage. Netanyahu and his wife Sarah were not home at the time.

The pre-recorded speech, delivered from an undisclosed location, was Qassem’s first address as the terror group’s leader. His appointment was announced on Monday, after Israel killed longtime terror chief Hassan Nasrallah late last month, and then killed Nasrallah’s presumed successor, Hashem Safieddine, a week later.
