Nasrallah: The destruction of Israel – a Lebanese interest
Four days ago Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah left his bunker – for the first time in about a year, and spoke about Israel in a speech he gave to the Lebanese people, saying that “its destruction is an interest of the Lebanese people”. Nasrallah gave his speech in honor of “El-Quds” day in southern suburb of Beirut.
“Israel is a danger to Lebanon and as such Lebanon has to be a danger to Israel” said Nasrallah. “Palestine – is from the sea to the river Jordan. No element has the right to relinquish any peace of that land”.
Continuing his speech, Nasrallah said that Israel is an existential threat to all the countries of the world. “Khomeini gave Israel a true and accurate description, that it is a cancer” said Nasrallah. “We know what a cancerous lump does – it looks to spread. The only solution when facing cancer is to not yield to it and not give it the opportunity to spread”.
