Nasrallah reaffirmed
that the developments in Palestine have an impact on the Lebanese people in
many different ways in a televised speech that was broadcast on Friday.
Every event in
Palestine has an impact on our nation, its sovereignty, and its future, he
declared.
"Consider the
possibility that a powerful Israel may impose its will across the entire
region. Could the Lebanese have imagined gas and oil? Nasrallah threw in.
"Talking about
the current and future of Syria is like talking about the present and future of
Lebanon," stated the well-known Lebanese figure Nasrallah.
He claimed that
Lebanon would have been damaged if the Takfiri terrorist group Daesh (ISIL or
ISIS), which had conquered vast tracts of land in Syria and Iraq from 2014 to
2017, had persisted in the area.
What would have
happened to Lebanon and its people if Daesh, al-Nusra, and other terrorist
groups had gained control of Syria? Nasrallah enquired about the Lebanese.
The head of Hezbollah
continued by denying recent claims circulating in diplomatic circles regarding
escalating dissension within the resistance front. Syria won't "leave the
Axis of Resistance" in order to "enter the Arab fold," he said,
denying the rumour. The Axis of Resistance is centred on Syria.
In other parts of his
remarks, Nasrallah hailed an unexpected agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia
to mend bilateral ties that had been severed in 2016 and said it may open up
new vistas for the region as a whole, including Lebanon. The arrangement was
mediated by China.
The reconciliation
between Iran and Saudi Arabia announced earlier in the day, according to him,
is a "positive development" that won't harm the people of the area.
The resistance, Yemen,
and Syria won't suffer as a result of an Iranian-Saudi reconciliation, he
added.
It's a significant
development, he continued, and if it follows its natural course, it may expand
possibilities throughout the area, including in Lebanon.
Seven years after
their diplomatic ties were suspended over a number of concerns, Iran and Saudi
Arabia finally reached an agreement on Friday following several days of intense
negotiations held in China.
Nasrallah stated that
selecting a candidate for election is the "natural and lawful" duty
of any political organization in response to Hezbollah's recent nomination of
Suleiman Franjieh as the party's candidate for the presidential campaign.
No one has the right
to forbid anyone from proposing a candidate because we have asked for discourse
over the presidency, according to Nasrallah.
No party or individual
has the authority to force their candidate on the Lebanese people, the head of
Hezbollah continued.
