Lebanese
Hezbollah will work with its allies to create a strategy “in the
field” to confront Israel, the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah,
said, calling again for a third Palestinian intifada (uprising),
during a rally in Beirut on Monday.
“Today
the axis of resistance, including Hezbollah, will return as its most
important priority ... Jerusalem and Palestine and the Palestinian
people and the Palestinian resistance in all its factions,”
Nasrallah said, as cited by Reuters.
Speaking
by video-link at a rally attended by tens of thousands in Hezbollah’s
stronghold in southern Beirut, Nasrallah vowed that the struggle for
Jerusalem and an independent Palestine is now Hezbollah’s top
priority.
According
to Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s regional victories – the Iran-backed
group played a key role in ground operations against Islamic State
(IS, formerly ISIS) in Syria – will allow it to renew its focus on
Palestine.
He also
called on Hezbollah and its allies to form a united strategy "in
the field" to confront Israel, and advocated for third
Palestinian intifada to overturn US recognition of Jerusalem as
Israel’s capital.
