Resistance Closer to Al-Quds than Ever
Sayed Hashem Safieddine, head of the Executive Council of Hezbollah, made the remark during a visit to the Lebanese border with the occupied Palestine on Sunday.
During the visit, he inaugurated murals of martyrs of resistance and symbols marking the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Hezbollah painted on the border wall.
He also met with the families of a number of martyrs of the anti-Zionist resistance.
“We are here at this sensitive site today to convey a clear message: that after 40 years we are closer to Palestine and Al-Quds and also closer to the Israeli regime so that if we want to, we weaken it in land and at sea. We determine when we want it.”
The cleric also painted a symbol of the 40th anniversary of founding of Hezbollah on the wall.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Safieddine slammed as “treasonous” the normalization of relations with Israel, saying Lebanon will never engage in such an act.
“The normalization of relations with the Zionist regime is treason, and resistance and the use of weapons and missiles will continue until the liberation of al-Quds,” he stated.
“Lebanon will not fall in the face of foreign threats and will remain a home for resistance,” Safieddine said, adding, “Lebanon will not be torn apart; Lebanon will not be among the compromisers and the countries that surrendered.”
The high-ranking official stressed that forty years into its formation, Hezbollah has become much stronger and still opposes the normalization of relations with the Zionist regime.
Back in 2020, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed United States-brokered agreements with Israel to normalize their ties with the regime. Some other regional states, namely Sudan and Morocco, followed suit soon afterward.
The so-called Abraham accords have sparked widespread condemnations from the Palestinians as well as nations and human rights advocates across the globe, especially within the Muslim world.
Other regional countries have also been fraternizing with Israel, including Saudi Arabia, which received a visit by the regime’s former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in November 2020.
