Nasrallah meets senior Hamas official as Iranian FM visits Beirut
Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has met in Lebanon with Khalil al-Hayyeh, who is Hamas’ deputy head in Gaza and its Arab and Islamic relations officer.
A statement issued by Hezbollah said the two men discussed the latest events since October 7 and evaluated the stances, developments and possible scenarios on all fronts, especially in the Gaza Strip.
They stressed “the importance of continuing work and constant coordination, combined with firmness and resilience, in order to achieve the promised victory,” the statement added.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian meanwhile arrived in Beirut, a day before a truce in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas that is expected to also include the south Lebanon front.
“Six weeks have passed of the heroic resistance in Gaza and time has proved that it is not in favor of the Israeli entity,” Abdollahian said from Beirut’s airport.
“The Palestinian people are the ones who will decide the future of Gaza and the future of Palestine,” he added.
“We are in Beirut to consult with the Lebanese authorities over achieving security in the region and regaining the rights,” Iran’s FM went on to say.
He also warned that “the fingers of the resistance forces in the region will remain on the triggers until all the rights of the Palestinians are restored.”
