Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah asserted that the axis of resistance will defeat the Israeli terrorist project in the region, pointing to the party’s intensified military readiness to face the Israeli enemy.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah asserted today that the axis of resistance will defeat the Israeli terrorist project in the region, pointing to the party's intensified military readiness to encounter the Israeli aggressions.

During the festival which marked Resistance and Liberation Day in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon, Sayyed Nasrallah considered that May 25 victory has glorious and historical meanings and indications, including mainly the fall of the 'Greater Israel' project.

"The repercussions of the victory still exist in Lebanon, Palestine, the Zionist entity and the region," he added.

"Without May 25 victory, we would not have witnessed victories which followed. We can describe it as the founder of the victories' era."

Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized that May 25 victory is a Lebanese, Arab, and national victory, adding that no one can undermine it so that it becomes partisan or sectarian.

"It is the nation's victory against the Zionist project."

Sayyed Nasrallah praised and glorified the enormous sacrifices of the Lebanese people, all resistance factions and the Lebanese army.

"We have to foster the culture of the hope for the future and the trust in God, in victory, and in our people," Sayyed Nasrallah said, "This culture, will and intention enabled us to attain all the victories, including the May 2000 one, the withdrawal of Israeli occupation troops from Gaza in 2005, the 2006 victory and 2008 Gaza steadfastness despite the Israeli military power and superiority."

Commenting on the moral and cultural essence of Hezbollah 2000 victory, Sayyed Nasrallah considered that the party presented a great Islamic sample, different from that displayed by the terrorist groups in Syria.

"Unfortunately,  today they are consolidating the idea of linking Islam to slaughtering, beheading, digging up graves, destroying shrines, and issuing death sentences because of mere political differences. This linkage is a betrayal and crime against Islam.

"Thousands of Hezbollah fighters entered in 2000 the liberated territories where different sects as well as political factions live, and despite the fact that some of the residents there were involved in betrayal in the south and the western Bekaa, all can remember how the souls and the worship places were saved," his eminence underscored, "This is the Islamic resistance sample of tolerance which is derived from the teachings of Islam." 

Hezbollah Sticks to Resistance-Army-People Golden Formula

Hezbollah leader highlighted that the party sticks to the Resistance-Army-People golden formula and that despite the regional developments the resistance has preserved and improved its deterrence power, what concerns the Israeli enemy.

Sayyed Nasrallah said that due to the Israeli military superiority, the government has to adopt this strategy to protect the country against any possible Israeli aggressions, pointing to the importance of the role of the Lebanese army.

His eminence added that the Israeli violations at the Lebanese-Palestinian borders have escalated and that they show the Israeli annoyance and fear of the Lebanese daily life activities at the borders.

Sayyed Nasrallah asserted that Hezbollah will not allow the Israeli enemy to keep on these violations and won't accept any Zionist aggression against the Lebanese citizens at the borders.

Syrian Cause

Hezbollah Secretary General stressed that the events in the last year in Syria prove the propriety of its stances regarding the crisis.

Hezbollah supports Syria for its role in standing by the Lebanese and the Palestinian resistance factions against the Zionist scheme in the region, Sayyed Nasrallah said, wondering how Zionist settlers are being brought from all over the world to occupy Palestine for the sake of their myths and deem it excessive for Hezbollah to defend Syria "which is considered our strength, back and honor."

The Western project is completely exposed as it aims at dividing Syria into parts for each militant group, pointing that those countries have brought the terrorists from all over the world and provided them with all the political and financial support so that they (terrorists) destroy Syria and the axis of resistance that threaten the Zionist entity.

"The West employed these terrorist groups to threaten Syria and the resistance axis but with no vail. The same groups are now posing a grave danger to the European security."

Sayyed Nasrallah added that the Israeli role in Syria have been also exposed as the entity has political connections with the opposition figures and provides the terrorist groups with logistic and military support.

His eminence pointed out that the terrorist groups in Syria, which pose a grave danger to the regional countries, are trying to ban the Syrians from participating in the presidential elections.

Hezbollah leader, however, asserted that the battlefield achievement of the Syrian army and its allies will completely defeat the terrorist project.

Sayyed Nasrallah considered that the war against Syria is a new version of 2006 war against the axis of resistance in the context of the "New Middle East" project, asserting that Syria as well as its allies will defeat this project and will not let it survive.

"There will be a time when everyone, including the countries which backed the terrorist groups, will thank Syria for its steadfastness which protected the region and the world from the terrorist atrocities."  

Lebanese Presidential Elections

Hezbollah Secretary general announced that the party endorses electing a new president soon and called on all the Lebanese political factions to facilitate the democratic process and preserve the national security.

Sayyed Nasrallah revealed that March 14 challenge candidacy aimed at preventing any serious candidate from running for the elections, accusing the team of trying to extend the term of president Michel Sleiman.

Sayyed Nasrallah also said that there is still a chance to elect a new president, adding that Hezbollah does not a require a president who defends the resistance, yet a president who does not back stabs it or conspire against it.

"Hezbollah defends the people, the state and the whole country," he affirmed.

"Hezbollah trusts its capabilities and will always encounter all challenges in order to keep victorious, despite the Israeli threats," Sayyed Nasrallah concluded.
