(Repeats with ** change to text) By Samia Nakhoul, Tom Perry and Laila Bassam BEIRUT, May 21 (Reuters) - Leba**n's Hezbollah says the Middle East is at risk of partition and sees ** end to the war in Syria, where it is fighting alongside President Bashar al-Assad against insurgents supported by his regional enemies. Sheikh Naim Qassem, deputy leader of the Iranian-backed group, said the insurgents would be unable to topple the Assad government despite their recent gains in battle, including this week's capture of Palmyra by the Islamic State jihadist group. In an interview with Reuters, Qassem said Assad's allies - Iran, Russia and Hezbollah - would back him "however long it takes".
