 BEIRUT -- Hezbollah Sectary General Seyyed Hasan Nasrallah has said the liberation of southern Lebanon from Israeli occupation would not have been possible without the support of Syria.“This land here would not have been liberated if it wasn't for the resistance and the resistance would not have won if it wasn't for the Syrian support,” Nasrallah said on Friday during a speech at Maroun al-Ras, southern Lebanon on the occasion of Al-Quds International Day. The Hezbollah leader added that developments in Syria would affect the region, the Daily Star reported. “Lebanon will not be in isolation of what is happening in Syria… negative or positive developments in Syria will affect the whole region,” he said. Nasrallah also called on Arab states to pool their efforts and end the unrest in Syria. The Hezbollah Sectary General also said that Lebanon is currently strong and always will be. “Lebanon is no longer the weak point in this region and there will never come a day when it becomes [so],” Nasrallah said, adding that Israel nowadays avoids attacking Lebanon due to the strength of the resistance. He went on to say that there was a U.S.-Israeli plot against the resistance, and that some domestic forces were helping in this goal. “There is a foreign plot with some local help… part of a American-Israeli conspiracy to destroy the formula, target each element of it,” Nasrallah said, adding that the goal is to create division between the resistance and its people on one hand and the army and the resistance on the other. Hezbollah Secretary-General also reiterated that Egypt is at a new political era. “If Mubarak was still ruling, the Egyptian response would have been completely different. He would have accused the Palestinians for the consequences of the Eilat terror attack. Nowadays, thousands of Egyptians protest in front of the Israeli embassy demanding to remove the Israeli ambassador,” Nasrallah said. -   Socialize this Subscribe to our RSS feed to stay in touch and receive all of TT updates right in your feed reader
