BEIRUT (Dispatches) – Hezbollah Secretary-General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday warned that any Israeli blunder in the region could snowball into an all-out war.
He said the recent war between the occupying regime of Israel and Gaza-based fighters showed the growth of the resistance’s deterrence power over that of the eroding Israeli deterrence.
The Israelis, Nasrallah said, have failed to strengthen their deterrence power and realized that they would pay a heavy price for any aggression.
He noted that the Israelis backed down from their threats due to the decline in tourism and the collapse of their shekel against the U.S. dollar.
Nasrallah also said those who think that the battle with the Israeli enemy has ended are delusional.
“There is part of our land that is still under occupation,” he said in a televised address on the occasion of the Resistance and Liberation Day. “There are those who seek to devalue the achieved victory, and we must prevent that.”
Nasrallah said, “All generations and all the Lebanese people must be reminded that the victory that was achieved did not come just like that; rather, it was the fruit of many years of sacrifices.”
He said there are three significant stages in the struggle with the Israeli enemy: which are May 17, the date that stands for wrong choices, May 15, the day of the Nakba, and May 25, the date that stands for right choices.
He said the degeneration that the occupation entity underwent is the result of a long struggle and a history of sacrifices by the resistance.
“Following the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000, then the withdrawal from Gaza came; the so-called ‘Great or Greater Israel’ no longer exists.”
Nasrallah said Israel is now hiding behind walls and gunfire and is impotent and unable to impose any conditions in any negotiations with the Palestinian people.
He also said the so-called “Arab Spring” has failed miserably, so has the so-called “Deal of the Century”. Meanwhile, there is no longer a complete U.S. hegemony over the world, as “we are heading toward a multipolar world, which is worrisome to Israel”, he added.
Nasrallah touched on the Israeli internal division vis-à-vis more cohesion and stability

of in the ranks of the Axis of Resistance.
He said the positions of Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi during his recemt visit to Syria after 12 years of a global war against the Arab country are a clear indication of the cohesion of the Axis of Resistance.
He also addressed Zionist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his recent threats against Lebanon, saying, “You are not the ones threatening an all-out war, we are the ones doing so.”
He touched on the superiority of the Axis of Resistance in terms of its human capacity, warning that any all-out war will extend to include all borders.
Nasrallah said the Israeli occupation’s internal front is weak and is facing an “ideological retreat”, which is driving Zionist settlers to pack up and leave occupied Palestine.
“The liberation of Palestine, prayers in Al-Aqsa Mosque, the demise of the occupation entity, and confidence and certainty in our victory” are inevitable, he said.
He said “among the current transformations is the development of the military capabilities of the resistance forces, an example of which is what we have in Lebanon.”
Nasrallah said the Zionist regime was able to normalize ties with some Arab regimes but failed to normalize with their people.
“The occupation entity realized that the Arab regimes are incapable of imposing normalization on their people.”
He said although Iran supports the Palestinian resistance, the Palestinians are the decision-makers, right-holders, and the ones who resist since they are the original landowners.
He said one of the most important transformations that have taken place is the deterrence power of the resistance forces, where the Israeli occupation today rationally calculates every step it would take against the resistance and Iran.
Nasrallah also hailed the support of Iran and Syria, who stood by the resistance in Lebanon and still continue to support it.
