Resistance will emerge victorious against Israel: Hezbollah chief tells Iran FM

Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah says he is confident that resistance will emerge victorious and the Israeli regime will suffer a decisive defeat.

Nasrallah made the remarks in a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in the Lebanese capital Beirut on Thursday, during which they discussed the latest developments in the region, particularly in Palestine and Lebanon.

Nasrallah hailed resistance of people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and reiterated the resistance’s full readiness in various fronts.

Amir-Abdollahian, for his part, outlined Iran’s diplomatic efforts and consultations over recent weeks about possible ways to help the Palestinian people and stop the Israeli regime’s war crimes against civilians in the Gaza Strip.

The Iranian foreign minister said the agreement reached between Israel and Hamas on the humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and the captive swap deal were the result of the Palestinian people’s resistance and Israel’s desperation in the face of the resistance.

According to Iran’s Ambassador to Beirut Mojtaba Amani, Nasrallah and Amir-Abdollahian also held talks about possible future events in the region, efforts to stop Israel’s atrocities against Gaza, possible scenarios regarding the war as well as the world’s collective responsibility regarding “the historic and determining development.”

On Wednesday, Amir-Abdollahian held talks with Secretary General of the Gaza-based Islamic Jihad movement Ziad al-Nakhala, deputy chief of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas political bureau in the Gaza Strip Khalil al-Hayya, and other officials from the groups in the Lebanese capital city of Beirut.

During the meeting, the sides discussed the latest field developments in the Gaza Strip, a temporary truce in the territory and means to extend it as well as the dispatch of humanitarian aid to the oppressed Palestinian nation.

Hamas announced early on Wednesday morning that it had reached an agreement with Israel on a four-day humanitarian ceasefire following concentrated mediation efforts by Qatar and Egypt.

The Iranian foreign minister also held separate meetings with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.
