Hizbullah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said on Tuesday that the current conflict was between two projects. "The first is the resistance that embraces all the meanings of liberation, preservation of sovereignty, protection of the peoples' will to choose away from tutelage and confronting aggressive "Israel". The second project is the US-"Israeli" scheme to reshape the region's policies based on obedience to "Israel", in the framework of the "new Middle East" that takes into consideration US interests," Sheikh Qassem highlighted.
"The American scheme has been hit by successive blows in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and facing Iran and Syria," Sheikh Qassem said, recalling how "the Resistance in Lebanon alongside its people and army was able to achieve the biggest strategic victory against "Israel" since the creation of the Zionist entity, what astonished the world as well as those involved in the US scheme."
Hizbullah's Deputy S.G stressed that the consecutive victories on "Israel" since the 2000 liberation until the July 2006 victory and Operation al-Redwan have proved that the will of the peoples is stronger than the abilities of the arrogant regimes, even if they close ranks.
His eminence added that the resistance today does not belong to a single group. "The Resistance now comprises all active political forces that believe in standing up to the "Israeli" scheme. Resistance is a defensive act and reaction to occupation" his eminence emphasized. "The question should not be about the existence of the resistance but about the reason behind occupation."
Sheikh Qassem also stressed the Resistance today is much stronger and more prepared than ever. "This ought to deter "Israel" that is extremely cautious to take any aggressive decision against Lebanon. The resistance will continue progressively as long as occupation and the "Israeli" danger continue to exist."
