The secretary-general of Hezbollah (Arabic: الأمين العام لحزب الله, romanized: Al'amin aleamu Lihizb Allah) is the highest position within Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and paramilitary group.[1][2]
The current holder of the position is Naim Qassem, who was appointed on 29 October 2024, a month after the assassination of his predecessor, Hassan Nasrallah, whom Qassem served as deputy secretary-general under.[3]
