Nasrallah says US, France acknowledge south front to stay active till Gaza war ends
Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Monday stressed that “the main and real objective of Lebanon's front is to pressure Israel to halt the war in Gaza.”
“The Lebanese front is imposing equations and its connection to the Gaza front is categorical,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech commemorating Hezbollah’s slain military commander Mustafa Badreddine.
“The Lebanese front will continue to support Gaza, this is decisive and final, and the Americans and the French have acknowledged this fact,” Nasrallah declared.
As for the Syrian refugee file, Nasrallah said everyone in Lebanon “wants the return of the Syrian refugees, except for some NGOs.”
“Accordingly the obstacle is coming from the Europeans and Americans,” Nasrallah added.
Turning to Gaza, Nasrallah said that even if the Israeli army enters Rafah, “that will not spell the end of the resistance.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “wants to enter Rafah in order to get rid of the defeat image,” Nasrallah pointed out, adding that “Israel has failed to achieve its objectives in Gaza.”
“The Israelis are ridiculing Netanyahu when he speaks about victory,” Hezbollah’s leader said, noting that “there is unanimity in Israel over Israel's failure.”
