BEIRUT (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime’s plea to the United States to return the illegal settlers who fled the occupied territories amid the Gaza war shows that the regime is “weaker than a spider’s web,” says a senior official of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement. Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, deputy head of Hezbollah’s executive council, made the remarks during the funeral procession for Wissam al-Tawil (Hajj Jawad), a top commander of the resistance group who was assassinated on Monday in an Israeli strike on his car in southern Lebanon.
“If Israel were not weaker than a spider’s house, it would not have appealed to the U.S. and Western countries to return settlers to northern settlements, it would not have asked the UN and world powers to implement Security Council Resolution 1701, and it would not have urged the United States and 20 other states to protect shipping safety in the Red Sea,” he said.
