Alwaght - Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah stressed that the Palestinian cause is above all political, sectarian and ethnic interests.
Addressing the Conference of International Union of Resistance Scholars in Beirut, Sayyed Nasrallah maintained that despite all tribulations in the region, Muslims “will inevitably pray in al-Quds.”
According to a report by Al Manar  TV, Sayyed Nasrallah said that the Muslim masse have been inflicted by major losses in the past few years due to the regrettable events which took place in several Muslim countries.
“The Zionist entity took advantage of these events as he sought normalization of ties with some Arab states”, Sayyed Nasrallah said.
Meanwhile, the resistance leader noted that the Muslims won’t abandon Palestine, noting that both Hezbollah and Iran support all those who hold the resistance flag regardless of their sectarian belongings.
Sayyed Nasralla pointed out that the scholars have to exert their efforts in a bid to fortify the ideological identity of the struggle with the Zionist entity.
Rightful Cause
Sayyed Nasrallah started his speech by stressing that the Palestinian cause is the most legitimate one in our region.
“There is no just and legitimate cause like al-Quds and countering the Zionist enemy,” Sayyed Nasrallah said.
“One may mix between right and wrong, but when we talk about al-Quds we are talking of a manifest right,” Sayyed Nasrallah said referring to the different stances from the events taking place in several Arab countries.
In this context, Hezbollah Chief said that the assessment of states, governments, parties and movements in our Ummah (Muslim world) should be based on their position from the Palestinian cause.
 “We are before a Zionist scheme whose aims surpass occupying Palestine,” Sayyed Nasrallah said as he hailed the resistance project for securing many achievements against the Zionist scheme.
“The resistance project secured many achievements over the past decades,” including the liberation of Gaza from Israeli occupation, and the “heroic steadfastness” against Israeli wars.
Major Losses
Meanwhile, Sayyed Nasrallah said that the resistance has been inflicted by major losses in the past year, due to the events taking place in the region.
“The major loss is the fact that Palestine is now out of the international and popular concerns, something which gave the enemy a historical chance in order to implement its scheme,” his eminence said.
He also warned against the events taking place in Al-Aqsa holy mosque, describing the Israeli violations as “alarming.”
 “Among other losses are the crises in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, in a addition to antagonizing Iran which is the major supporter in confronting the Zionist scheme,” Hezbollah Chief added.
Meanwhile, Sayyed Nasrallah noted that the Zionist enemy has been seeking to normalize ties with several Arab states, adding that Tel Aviv is taking advantage of the losses inflicted upon the resistance project.
“Right now, there are some Arab countries that have taken Israel out of the circle of threats,” he said. “This is something very dangerous.”
However, he stressed that despite “the regrettable events taking place in the region, there are strength elements within our Ummah that the enemy still fears.”
Ideological Identity of the Struggle with Israel
Sayyed Nasrallah called upon scholars worldwide to exert efforts in a bid to fortify the ideological identity of the battle against the Zionist entity.
“This cause is above the national, political, sectarian and ethnic interests,” Sayyed Nasrallah said.
“Despite all troubles taking place in the regions many protests expressed solidarity with the Palestinian cause in Al-Quds International Day.”
He also called for using all means necessary to resist any Israeli regime bids of normalization.
Palestine above all Interests
“The issue of Palestine and the Palestinian cause is above politics and political interests. Palestine is the responsibility of the Palestinian people,” he said, emphasizing, however, that, “Our responsibility is to support the Palestinian people.”
In this context, the resistance leader said that both Iran and Hezbollah stand with whoever raises the flag of the resistance, regardless his sectarian or political belongings.
He called on any Muslim or Arab country to bear its responsibilities towards Palestine.
“We guarantee that Iran will pave the way for any Muslim or Arab country to lead the resistance project if they bear the responsibility of defending Palestine,” Sayyed Nasrallah said.
Meanwhile, Sayyed Nasrallah pointed out that the existential struggle which minorities have been engaged in that has made Israel a minor threat.
Hezbollah leader also referred to what he said last year during Al-Quds International Day, that “we the Shia of Ali (AS) will never abandon Palestine. He stressed that this saying was not sectarian or political; rather it was ideological because Palestine is an ideological cause.
In this context, he noted that “there are western and international efforts to bring the Shia out from the battle with Israel.”
Then he reiterated that “we (the Shia) won’t abandon Palestine and its people at any rate.”
At the end of the speech, Sayyed Nasrallah said that “Israel, the cancerous tumor, will be wiped out, stressing that the day in which “we will pray in Al-Quds is inevitably coming.”
The Hezbollah leader also said the resistance movement will cooperate with any Arab and Muslim country on the issue of Palestine.
He also stressed that the Israel regime is on the verge of collapse and the Israeli occupied territories will be return to their rightful owners, the Palestinians.
