Nasrallah: Plan for establishment of larger Israel quite dead now

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Beirut, Dec 16, IRNA -- Hezbollah Sec Gen Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said here Wednesday Zionists’ famous plan for establishment of larger Israel is quite non-existent today and that pursuit is dead now.

According to the IRNA correspondent in Beirut, Nasrallah who was speaking on the occasion of Imam Hossein’s martyrdom anniversary for the people through the videoconference facility at Seyyed ul-Shohada Complex in Zahiyeh district of Beirut added, “Under the current conditions Israel is merely an idea and thanks to resistance and defiance no such thing as the greater Israel plan exists any more, as the Israelis and the Zionists have proved their incompetence in materializing the objectives of the greater Israel plan.”

Referring to the resistance movement of the Palestinian people and the beginning days of the resistance movement in Lebanon, followed by the victory of the Islamic resistance of Lebanon in the year 2000 and the humiliating exit of Israel from the southern parts of Lebanon and the defeat of Israel in Gaza in 2006, he said, “The last nails were thus hammered on the coffin of the greater Israel plan for good.”

He added, “Israel’s face that had always been horrifying for the region is not even horrifying for the children today and Tel Aviv is no longer capable of imposing conditions, or even war waging, but this of course does not mean the Israel is weakened to an extent that it can be annihilated easily, as it still possesses some elements of power.”

Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah added, “Israel’s threat at diplomatic circles and its efforts aimed at turning Judaicizing the occupied Beit ul-Muqaddas, are among the threats with which the Arabs residing in the lands occupied in1948 are faced with, in addition to the continuing swallowing and disintegration of the West Bank.”

He said that the plan for replacing Israel with the historic Palestine is a historic fact, adding, “Thus, Israel’s efforts are focused on the fixation of its identity and the strengthening of its military capabilities, as the recent discovering of its espionage facilities in Lebanon proves.”

ELITES SHOULD RESIST AGAINST DISCORD BETWEEN SHI’A AND SUNNI MUSLIMS

Elsewhere in his address, Nasrallah added, “The responsibility of the social elites and thinkers in confrontation with the Israeli and US plots and conspiracies aimed at sowing the seeds of discord between the Shi’a and the Sunni Muslims is encouraging resistance and promoting Islamic solidarity.”

According to IRNA, he added, “Israel and the United States care for their personal interest only. The important point for them is weakening the Muslims and annihilating the eastern Christians, which explains the topic of the Hariri court hearing and the suing of some Hezbollah members in that file.”

Nasrallah referred to the victories of the Lebanese and the Palestinian resistance movements, adding, “Israel and the United States have studied the situation and the region’s status quo, as the Zionist regime’s Roads and Transportations Minister Shaul Mofaz, addressing the Middle East Arabs, said that the Shi’a threat is real and we need to unite against them.”

The secretary general of Hezbollah further focused on the former Zionist war minister’s intriguing remarks, saying, “That is while inside Palestine, Israel is busy massacring the Sunnis, which calls for the unity and solidarity among the Shi’a and the Sunni Muslims against Israel and the United States.”

He added, “As a result of the developments during the past 30 yeas in Iran, Lebanon and Palestine, new conditions emerged in which Israel is faced with three options: the first one is solving the crisis and yielding to negotiations, which is what Israel does not favor and the peace talks are merely an opportunity for Israel to kill the time.”

Nasrallah added, “The second option for Israel is imposing another war against the region, but in case of getting engaged in a war against Iran, Lebanon, or Syria, it is not sure of emerging victorious knowing that there is no guarantee for achieving victory in another war, which is why it has waged a psychological war of threatening and intimidating.”

The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah said, “Israel’s third option is preserving the status quo, in order to achieve it Tel Aviv is trying to siege Syria and the resistance movement and increase the range of sanctions against Iran, while the imposed sanctions against Iran and Syria have thus far been ineffective and the 1559 UNSC, too, has born no fruit, which is why the main objectives now include sowing the seeds of discord between the Shi’as and the Sunnis and inflicting blows against the Christians in the east.”

Addressing the Lebanese nation, the secretary general of Hezbollah said, “Resistance would continue its practices and increase its (combat) readiness and you can keep relying on the resistance today, as you did in the past, and to rely on in also in the future, as well.”

HARIRI COURT NOT INDEPENDENT, MORE SCANDELOUS THAN WIKILEAKS

The secretary general of Hezbollah said, “The International Court surveying the assassination of the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri is neither independent, nor fair and a day will come that is scandalous nature would be revealed to a greater extent than the WikiLeaks scandal.”

Nasrallah added, “Some people in Lebanon are aware of the developments in the course of the investigations over the assassination plot of Hariri and a day will come when making distinction between the black and the while stings would be possible and the scandalous nature of Hariri court would be revealed a lot worse than the WikiLeaks documents, while all who have played roles in this plot would be ashamed; so is it appropriate to remain silent under such conditions?”

He added, We presented the documents regarding Hariri’s assassination and noted that the court is political and biased, but the Americans said that Hezbollah had been involved in the assassination. Can any worse initiation than this one ever be spotted in the history of the world judiciary processes?”

The secretary general of Hezbollah added, “The efforts of Hezbollah and the opposition forces are aimed at blocking the path for the destruction of the country and we posed the question at the beginning of the hearing whether the investigations over the assassination of Hariri are really on the right path? The reply to that question is definitely negative, because in a sound process of judiciary process the entire possibilities are considered, and focusing on a single possibility is refrained. The investigations over the assassination of Hariri began with accusation of Syria, and when that lot was defeated time came for accusing the resistance movement, while the news on the investigations proves that the hearing is not free and fair at all.”

Nasrallah added, “Despite the existence of the documents we presented to the court, which were ignored, we did not adopt a negative approach towards the matter, but all the same we know that the presiding judge at the International Court Daniel Belmar would in continuation of his past conduct condemn the resistance movement and the Hezbollah, and the accusation would be announced in the course of the next few days.”

He pointed out that the Hezbollah movement’s objectives include the preservation of resistance, defending the territorial integrity of Lebanon, and blocking the path for inflicting any destruction against the country, adding, “Where is the possibility of Israel’s role in the assassination of Hariri considered in this hearing, while they tried to downplay that greatest possibility to an extent that it was actually totally ignored.”

The secretary general of Hezbollah added, “At the time that Dietel Miles was the head of the International Investigation Committee over the Assassination of Hariri and the German Intelligence Agency’s Gerhard Lemans, the corrupt figure who used to sell the documents and proofs on the remarks made by the witnesses for 50 to 70 dollars a piece, was is deputy, he proposed to sell the entire documents regarding the Hariri hearing to us for one million, but we rejected the offer.”

Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah added, “Now the Presiding Judge at the International Court is Daniel Belmar and the Lebanese Government supports that fake witnesses of Hariri’s assassination, while we have asked for putting to trail those fake witnesses.”

He said, “They initially told us that doing so is the responsibility of the International Court, and when that court, too, refrained from doing so the Lebanese Government objected to returning the case to the Lebanese Judiciary Council.”

He added, “I ask the entire political groups in Lebanon that favor the revealing of the truth regarding the assassination of Hariri to ask for returning the file on the fake witnesses of that assassination to the Lebanese Judiciary Council, because the fake witnesses have been created and initiated by Miles and Lemans.”

Lemans said, “We have noting to do with the Hariri Court and we will not deliver anybody to them, not yielding to oppression, and not inclining towards treachery, regardless of what they might to, and saying come what may.”
