Hezbollah Secretary General: Netanyahu lost the war

Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech on Wednesday evening, “We’ve entered the sixth month of the war in Gaza and the fronts supporting it, and Gaza is still resisting courageously with its resistance and its people, as their steadfastness was close to a miracle”.

Nasrallah pointed out that what is happening in Gaza is a lesson for the world.

He said, “This month, Netanyahu stands up and says: If we don’t go to Rafah, we will lose the war… I say that if you go to Rafah, you will have lost the war, and you cannot eliminate Hamas or the resistance… If you hope that the people of Gaza will raise the white flags for you, they raised them earlier, despite the massacres and hunger… The people of Gaza still embrace the resistance”.

He stressed, “One of the signs of victory and defeat for Israel is the inability to eliminate the Hamas movement”.

He asked, “Who are you negotiating today? Hamas, which is negotiating on behalf of the resistance, doesn’t negotiate from a position of weakness, but rather sets conditions… All Palestinian factions and the will of the people of Gaza agree to stop the aggression and not a temporary ceasefire”.

In an appearance devoid of a raised tone or threat of retaliation for the Israeli raids, Nasrallah touched on the southern front, saying, “In the recent period, the enemy’s anger has increased and the settlers’ anger has increased due to the continuation of resistance operations in Lebanon, and this front continues its pressure on the enemy,” and he recalled “words by Imam Musa al Sadr about the battle with Israel in 1975 when there was no Islamic Republic in Iran, and among the words of Imam al Sadr… This is your destiny and my duty, to die for the sake of Jerusalem and not the Palestinians… This is the duty of every Muslim and Christian”.

Nasrallah responded to party leaders in Lebanon and who can say what the Southern Front achieved for Gaza, saying, “Our Lebanese Front is performing its duty and fully playing its role in this battle, and the screams of the settlers are getting louder than the resistance”.

He called for “listening to Israeli officials and experts who say that their soldiers are incurring high prices,” saying that “Israel is concealing the losses of tanks and soldiers”.

He pointed out that “a problem that the Israeli Minister of War is suffering from, so conscription is being proposed”.

Nasrallah concluded by saying, “The enemy’s army is exhausted on all fronts, and whoever wants to evaluate what the resistance is doing on the Lebanese front is to deter the enemy from going to war with Lebanon”.

He concluded by saying, “Victory and victory belong to those who are patient and endure, and the matter requires some time and the enemy’s society is beginning to tire and will be forced to stop the aggression and acknowledge its failure”.
