Highlights from Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, last night's speech on 11 April.
Palestine
He spoke about Palestine, saying, "We must stand in respect and pride, before the heroism and bravery of the men, women, and children of Palestine, their courageous fight and will to face death to ensure a dignified life for their people. We stand with honor and glorification before the families of the martyrs, their decisive stances, and the steadfastness of this patient and struggling people despite the long history of massacres,"
He warned the enemy saying, "If you think the official Arab betrayal will lead the Palestinian youth to back down, you are delusional. If you bet on the Palestinian people's desperation and frustration, you're delusional."
Lebanon
"We also remember the April war, the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, and we recall the perseverance of our people. In the Qana massacre, the United States did not even allow the Security Council to issue a resolution to condemn the Zionist entity's crimes. This is America and the international community, always defending the Zionists and covering up for their crimes.
Sayyed Nasrallah reminded us that the resistance in Lebanon has succeeded in imposing a balance of deterrence, saying, "the equation of protecting civilians from the Israeli aggression is still upright thanks to the resistance."
Interference in Lebanon's elections
The resistance leader issued a warning about attempts from the US embassy to delay upcoming parliamentary elections in Lebanon, saying that there are talks that some embassies are calling to postpone the parliamentary elections to arrange the affairs of those other parties. Adding that "We have the right to accuse the US embassy of seeking to postpone the parliamentary elections," He said, "one of the objectives postponing the elections may be to reduce citizens' enthusiasm to participate… We consider that we are fighting an electoral battle, and we must all actively participate in the polls."
He also raised concerns about possible interference from Saudi Arabia in the coming elections, saying that "A Saudi official had told me that Saudi Arabia spent a lot of money in Lebanon in the 2009 elections, paying $500 for a vote. The same might happen now,"
Yemen
He spoke about Yemen, saying that "The oppressed Yemenis have imposed their will on the international community with their steadfastness and courage and patience; it was not something granted to them. We are happy with the ceasefire, and we hope that it will open doors for a truce to be an entry point towards a political solution and stop the war and the siege; this was our position from the first day Saudi Arabia launched the war on Yemen. We've always called for an end to the war and massacres, yet nobody seeks to target Saudi Arabia."
And he advised the Saudi regime, "The only way for a political solution in Yemen is to negotiate with Yemeni Supreme Political Council and Ansarallah; talking to their allies to try and force the Yemenis out of their sacrifices is a waste of time."
