Mideast conflicts seek to undermine Palestinian cause: Hezbollah
The deputy leader of Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah says the growing wave of militancy in the Middle East is a ploy to undermine the Palestinian cause and the fight against the illegal Israeli occupation.
Sheikh Naeem Qassem said on Wednesday that the main objective of the foreign-backed militancy in some Middle Eastern countries is to “divert the attentions away from the Palestinian cause and weaken the Arabs.”
The Hezbollah official, who was speaking in a conference on Palestine in Lebanon, said there is no trace in the occupied Palestinian territories of Takfiri terrorists, while such militants continue to wreak havoc almost in every other place in the region.
He said the only solution to the Palestinian conflict is the cessation of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands, saying Hezbollah and other resistance movements will continue to support the Palestinians in the face of the Israeli occupation.
Qassem also blasted some in the Arab world for what he called their efforts to “normalize” relations with the Israeli regime, saying those who shake hands with the officials of the Tel Aviv regime will achieve nothing.
The comments come against the backdrop of unrest in the occupied West Bank, East al-Quds and the blockaded Gaza Strip, where some 120 Palestinians have been killed in clashes with Israeli forces and settlers since early October.
Palestinians have become increasingly concerned about an alleged Israeli plan for changing the status quo of the al-Aqsa Mosque, their most revered place and the third holiest site for the Muslims across the world. Palestinians are also angry at Israeli settler violence in the West Bank.
