Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general has warned that the Israeli regime’s occupation of the Palestinian land poses a threat not only to Palestine but to the entire region and beyond.
“Israel is a usurper and an occupying regime, and a real danger to the entire region and the world,” Sheikh Naim Qassem said on Tuesday in his third televised address since the martyrdom of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
“This regime does not limit its occupation to Palestine; it seeks to expand its control, as Palestine alone is insufficient for its ambitions. Israel also aims to dominate the territories of Arab and Muslim states.”
The Hezbollah official emphasized the importance of resistance in the face of the massacres Israel and its backers perpetrate.
“Israel and those behind it wage war and commit massacres, leaving us no choice but to take a stand.”
The Hezbollah official also exposed the joint US-Israeli scheme in West Asia. “America, the biggest devil, wants a new Middle East. Netanyahu shares the same vision. This means the US and Israel are deliberately carrying out this genocide.”
Sheikh Qassem said Hezbollah would not be defeated in its longstanding conflict with the Israeli regime.
