Naim Qassem, Hezbollah’s second-in-command, said on Wednesday that “the attack on the United States is necessary to stop the aggression against Gaza”: in an interview with the Spanish newspaper “El Mundo” and the Italian newspaper “Corriere della Sera”, as indicated by the main ideologue of the movement led by Hassan Nasr. God indicated that if Tel Aviv tried to expel the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, “it would be completely eliminated.”
“Today there is an alliance that we call the ‘Axis of Resistance’, which includes countries such as Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen or Palestine, who believe that the Palestinians deserve the land, not the occupiers. We have a unified vision, but each one judges how to contribute to the victory.” Gaza”.
On the other side, there is also an axis formed by the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Israel, which supports the occupation, legitimizes the killing of children and women, the destruction of hospitals, and grants immunity to Israel to continue. Its massacres. Naeem Qassem stressed that the United States supports these massacres, and therefore attacking the United States is necessary to stop the aggression against Gaza.
The October 7 Hamas attack “was an independent Palestinian operation, both in preparation and implementation. All the speculation of Western intelligence services about decision-making in the “Axis of Resistance” is just speculation.” He pointed out that “the United States’ intervention by sending its fleet to the Mediterranean is part of the violent Israeli reaction and serves to protect this brutality.”
For one Hamas official, what happened on October 7 “was a great act by the oppressed Palestinians against the occupation that has left them with no other choice for the past 75 years.” “It was a very important and noble work, although some details could have been avoided.”
He said that Hezbollah is not afraid of Israeli nuclear weapons. “If they use nuclear weapons, they will kill the Israelis before they kill us. This is a very small area. In any case, we are not afraid,” Qassem said, stressing that the reason for Israel’s survival “is the support of the United States.” “Otherwise, it would have collapsed within days. Israel is under intensive care from the West, and we do not know how long this matter will continue.”
The Israeli project to expel all Palestinians from Gaza will provoke a violent reaction from Hezbollah. He concluded: “If Israel decides to prolong the aggression, it will dig its own grave and give it a good opportunity to get rid of it once and for all.”
