Lebanese Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah breaks his silence on the war between Hamas and Israel, which he defines as a country “that cannot stand on its own two feet.” In a live televised speech commemorating the fighters killed in the Israeli bombings – the “Festival of the Martyrs Fallen on the Road to Jerusalem” – he described Hamas’s operation against the Israeli population over the past seven years as “holy”. and great”. October, the one that triggered the conflict. He then specified that this was the result of a “decision made 100% by the Palestinians” and therefore “not shared with other factions of the Islamic resistance”. However, if ” Some expected me to announce war today,” Nasrallah specified, adding that “we have been at war since October 8th.” The Hamas attack had the merit of “exposing, as never before, the weakness and fragility of Israel, a trembling entity.” , to show. Nasrallah then pledged his support for Gaza, where a “decisive” battle like never before is being fought: “We are ready to make sacrifices, we are ready to give everything.” Thousands of people in the square heard him in religious silence. He added that the deaths in the Gaza Strip “must be discussed around the world.” Also because Israel is “violating human rights” in the war: “All the victims of Gaza are martyrs, they are moving into another world , which was proclaimed by the prophets, now they are where there are no dictatorships and no Zionists. There is.” No war is more unjust than this.” And he defines the USA as responsible for “the crimes committed by Israel in Gaza” (ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR, LIVE UPDATES).
“Decades of suffering for the Palestinian people”
The suffering of the Palestinian people, the Hezbollah leader wanted to remind us, has been going on for decades, especially since “a right-wing government that violates human rights” came to power in Israel. Before the October 7 attack, he added that there were four “urgent issues” on the Palestinian front: “The thousands of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons; the issue of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem; the nearly twenty-year siege of Gaza; the dangers looming over the West Bank, including Israeli settlements, daily killings and arrests.” Nasrallah then called for – defining “the enemy’s policy” as “persecution” – the opening of humanitarian corridors to “deal with the humanitarian situation” .
“Israel has not learned from its past mistakes and is unable to stand on its own two feet.”
The Hezbollah leader criticized the “Israeli rulers” for not having “learned from the lessons” of the past: “They have always set high goals for themselves in their wars, they have not learned from the various wars in Gaza, they have not learned from the wars.” 2006 Lebanon War … they declare goals that they then fail to achieve.” Then he sharpened his tone: “Israel is not able to survive on its own.” This is shown by the fact that “we see “How American generals storm into Israel and open US arms depots for the Israeli army, and we see Israel demanding $10 billion from day one.” Nasrallah also wanted to point out that Iran, Israel’s antagonist, according to various reconstructions is behind groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, which “does not control” the leaders of the armed groups in Lebanon and Palestine, but rather “supports their resistance,” as Nasrallah emphasized shows “what has happened so far.” And he calls on Arab countries not to “send soldiers” but to “show a minimum of honor and stop sending oil to Israel.”
