ALBAWABA- In a speech marking one week since the assassination of Hezbollah Commander Fouad Shukr, Hassan Nasrallah accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of rejecting ceasefire initiatives and seeking to displace Palestinians.
Nasrallah claimed Netanyahu's objective in Gaza is to uproot its population, pushing them towards Egypt or elsewhere, while in the West Bank, the aim is to expand settlements and displace Palestinians toward Jordan, paving the way for annexation.
He criticized U.S. rhetoric on a two-state solution as hypocritical, asserting that Israel, fearing an Iranian response, is seeking support from the U.S. and Western nations.
Despite Israeli mobilization, Nasrallah noted that resistance forces had advanced near the occupied city of Acre, emphasizing that the battle's goal was to prevent an Israeli victory and protect the Palestinian cause.
Nasrallah dismissed the impact of recent Israeli achievements, such as the assassinations of Shukr and other leaders, stating they do not alter the fundamental dynamics of the conflict. He urged Lebanese citizens not to fear the resistance's victory but rather the consequences of an Israeli triumph.
Hezbollah remains committed to responding to Shukr's assassination, highlighting Israel's precarious position.
Nasrallah also mentioned the intense sound barrier-breaking maneuvers by Israeli aircraft over Beirut before his speech, which led to damage in the city. He stressed that there is broad Israeli consensus against the establishment of any form of Palestinian state, viewing it as an existential threat.
Notably, the Israeli occupation aircraft broke the sound barrier very strongly three times during Nasrallah's speech on the occasion of the passing of a week since the assassination of the leader Fouad Shukr in the southern suburb of Beirut.
The breach may have been the most violent since October 8, especially in Beirut and the coastal areas, which led to the shattering of the windows of homes and shops in some areas of the Lebanese capital.
