Lebanese-Syrian Borders Almost Safe after Evacuation of Armed Groups from Zabadani, Serghaya and Madaya: Nasrallah

On May 2, 2017

BEIRUT- Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah has stressed that the real bet of the resistance should be on its own strength rather than waiting for solidarity from the international community.

During a ceremony held by Hezbollah on the occasion of the Day of the Wounded Resistance Fighter, Sayyed Nasrallah praised the injured resistance fighters, stressing that all victories achieved against the Israeli and the Takfiri enemies are because of their sacrifices, according to al-ManarTV website.

He said that thanks to the resistance sacrifices the Lebanese-Syrian borders are now safe and are no more under the Takfiri threat, especially following the recent evacuation of militants from Zabadani, Serghaya and Madaya.

“Rightfulness of Syria Engagement”

Nasrallah referred to the infighting taking place between Takfiri groups of ISIL and Nusra Front in Eastern Ghouta.

He said that these militant groups are the sample which Saudi Arabia and Turkey wanted to present as an alternative to the Syrian government.

“Day after another we are more confident that our decision to engage in Syria was rightful,” Nasrallah said.

Moreover, Nasrallah stressed that “every moment in Syria today is a moment of victory,” hailing the steadfastness of the Syrian government against the Takfiri scheme.

“Jungle Law”

On the other hand, Nasrallah lashed out at the international community over keeping silent on massacres committed against Yemeni and Syrian people, and oppression staged against Bahraini people.

“Despite UN’s announcement that millions have been dying in Yemen, and although UN knows that Saudi Arabia is the state which has been committing such crimes in Yemen, no one dares to say the truth.”

Sayyed Nasrallah also pointed to policy of double standards towards Syria, saying that the western countries did not accept to probe the alleged Khan Sheikhoun chemical attack, but they made no actions towards the massacre against Foua and Kefraya evacuees in Aleppo’s Rashidin district.

Talking on Bahrain, Nasrallah said there have been thousands of people in Bahrain’s besieged town of Diraz to defend Ayatollah Sheikh Issa Qassem, but the world also keeps silent.

“Don’t expect that the international community will be just or fair. Strategies of ‘jungle law’ and ‘survival of the fittest’ prevail in our world.”

In this context, Nasrallah stressed that the real bet of the resistance is on its own strength, urging the resistance supporters not to wait solidarity from the international community.

“Palestinian Hunger Strike”

On the regional developments, Nasrallah slammed Arab leaders and Arab league over their silence on the hunger strike staged by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

He voiced Hezbollah’s solidarity with the Palestinian hunger strike, saying they have been demanding their basic rights, wondering where are the Arab leaders and the Arab League to see the hunger strikers.

Nasrallah said that the Zionist entity bets that the Palestinian hunger strikers will abandon their struggle as the time passes.
