Resistance Foiled US’ ‘New Middle East’ Plot: Nasrallah
Speaking in a televised speech on Wednesday, Nasrallah pointed to the war between Lebanon and the Israeli regime in July 2006 while also explaining the aim of US President Joe Biden’s visit to the region.
“Another one of the July War's many achievements is creating an equation of deterrence between Lebanon and the Israeli enemy,” Sayyed Nasrallah said. “All the Israelis realize that Benny Gantz's words about entering Lebanon are null and void.”
“There was a US project to take control of the region through direct military intervention, but the resistance and Lebanon's resilience and the objectives of the July War dealt a heavy blow to the new Middle East project,” he said.
“There are new versions of the new Middle East project [...] And US President Joe Biden's visit to the Middle East comes in this context,” he added.
“The United States today is different from the 2003 and 2006 United States... The image of the old, frail American President represents what America is today,” Sayyed Nasrallah underlined.
Commenting on the goals of Biden's visit to West Asia, the Hezbollah chief stressed that Biden came to the region with two goals, “the first one of which is persuading the Gulf states to export more oil and gas,” while the second goal is “enhancing Israel's security and emphasizing normalization.”
“The Americans' first, decisive mission in the wake of the Russian-Ukrainian War is securing an alternative to the Russian gas for Europe [...] and the United States is fighting Russia using the Ukrainian government, armed forces, and people, and it dragged all of the European countries [into the war].”
In light of Biden seeking to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and talks in Washington about the US working for Palestine, Sayyed Nasrallah underlined that “Biden has nothing whatsoever to offer the Palestinian people.”
