Leader of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has likened the Israeli regime to the Nazis in Germany in the Second World War, saying the regime has little chance of surviving the growing public anger over its crimes in Gaza.
“I see no future for this Nazi regime in the region,” said Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah in a televised speech on Tuesday.
Nasrallah said that Israel’s brutal bombardment of refugee tents in the city of Rafah in Gaza over the weekend would only accelerate its collapse and disintegration.
He said the attack showed that the Israelis are even worse than the Nazis who committed heinous crimes across Europe.
“The occupying regime ... lacks conscience or moral principles and it is worse than the Nazis,” he said.
Some 45 people, including many children, were killed in Israel’s attack on a tent camps in Rafah late on Sunday, prompting global condemnations and calls for implementation of a World Court order to halt Israel's assault on Gaza.
The attack came two days after the Court ordered Israel to stop an aggression on Gaza that has killed more than 36,000 people since it started in October last year.
However, Nasrallah said Israel’s response to international calls for a halt to attacks on Gaza was a devastating airstrike.
He said the scale of the attack on Rafah, which was evident in the disfigured bodies of children left behind from it, showed how “savage, treacherous and ruthless” the Zionists are.
