Alwaght- The Axis of Resistance is determined to liberate Palestine from nearly 80 years of Israeli occupation, said Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem.
The top official made the remarks during an interview with Al-Alam news network.
“The [members of the regional] resistance axis are of same and common ideas. All [parties] have been convinced across the resistance axis that Palestine serves as the compass, and that the strong should help out the weak,” he said.
“All [the members] have reached the consensus that the goal is the liberation of Palestine,” Qassem noted, adding, “We never care about the cost of supporting the issue of Palestine.”
Over the past five months, the members of the Iran-led anti-imperialist bloc have been engaged in a common drive against the Israeli regime.
The pro-liberation campaign was initiated with Hamas’s Operation Al-Aqsa Storm that killed over thousand Israelis on October 7.
When the Israeli occupation waged war on Gaza, it faced a collective response from three fronts of Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen— a realization of the theory of unity of fields [battlefields] that suggests that Resistance camp should act collectively should one of its members comes under attacks.
The bloc apparently sees the US-led Western camp and not the Israeli regime as it rival. That is why its branches also struck American targets in Syria and Iraq.
According to the Press TV, Hezbollah official said the goal sought by Operation al-Aqsa Storm was “to create an aperture to open up the path of liberation of Palestine.
He cited the example of the Israeli regime’s failure to destroy Hamas, despite a months-long US-backed war that it has been waging against Gaza since the launch of the operation.
“Israel does not fight a war,” he said, adding, “it just engages in devastation.”
Sheikh Qassem, at the same time, insisted that involvement in pro-Gaza battles was a sovereignty decision and “no one issued them orders.”
