In a recent speech, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah addressed the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel. He stated that the decision to launch the operation, which he referred to as the "Al-Aqsa Storm battle," was entirely Palestinian and kept secret from external parties.
Nasrallah expressed gratitude for the involvement of Iraqi and Yemeni groups in this conflict. He emphasized that this battle is solely for the Palestinian people and is unrelated to broader regional issues. According to Nasrallah, the October 7 attack exposed weaknesses in Israel and caused significant disruption.
Nasrallah also highlighted the challenging conditions in Palestine in recent years, criticizing the Israeli government. He stressed the importance of the Palestinian cause and the unwavering commitment of the resistance forces.
Nasrallah asserted that Iran does not have direct control over the resistance factions, and the leaders of these groups make their decisions independently. He criticized international support for Israel and suggested that one of Israel's mistakes is setting unachievable goals.
The Hezbollah leader called for negotiations to secure the release of captives in Gaza and criticized Israel for its actions in the conflict, particularly civilian casualties. He described Israel as "frail" and stated that it had not achieved significant military success in a month of conflict.
Nasrallah characterized the current situation in Gaza as a decisive battle, unlike previous wars, and urged everyone to take responsibility. He outlined two goals: ending the war in Gaza and achieving victory for Hamas in this conflict.
