Beirut, SAEDNEWS, Nov. 12: In his speech on Wednesday marking Hezbollah Martyr Day, Nasrallah commented on the US presidential elections, saying that the American elections revealed the real US face. “I ask those who brag about US democracy to look at this example and assess whether we should emulate it. Look at the living situation in large US cities, people living in tents, without a social safety net, huge COVID cases, psychological diseases, addiction, huge numbers of people in jail, unbridled racism, etc.. This is America they hold up to us as an example!” he said, according to Lebanon's Al-Manar.
As for the new administration, Hezbollah Secretary-General affirmed that the American policy in the region is an Israeli one whose concern is the security and supremacy of ‘Israel,’ whether it is democratic or republican, and therefore this policy will not change.
“Regardless of who’s the US president, they all race to strengthen and empower ‘Israel’; so, from our position, there’s no difference,” Nasrallah said on the election of Joe Biden as the new US president, but indicated that “Trump’s administration is the worst or one of the worst in American history, it revealed the US true face.”
“Trump’s policy in different issues have failed, especially the Palestinian one. For four years, Trump kept the world on the razor edge of war,” he pointed out, expressing happiness for the defeat of Donald Trump in the presidential elections. “I feel happy with Trump’s humiliating defeat because of his blatant crime against Martyr Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis.”
“Many in Pentagon expressed fear that after Trump fired [Defence Secretary Mark] Esper, his actions in the next two months would become more unpredictable. With a person like Trump remaining in office, everything is possible,” Nasrallah said, warning that Trump’s dismissal of Esper may be linked to some upcoming acts domestically or abroad.
Hezbollah Secretary-General emphasized that the Resistance doesn’t get involved in border demarcation, maritime or land, assuring that it’s the State’s responsibility and falls under its constitutional mechanisms.
He touched upon the specificity of this day, considering the significant operation that took place when Martyr Ahmad Kassir stormed the Israeli occupation headquarters building in Tyre as the greatest and largest one in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Nasrallah stressed that the nation that acknowledges the value of its martyrs is the ablest to be loyal to their sacrifices and extended greetings to the martyrs’ families, praising them for their patience and perseverance. “You’re our source of pride.” (Source: IranPress)
