Palestinians will never be defeated and “will not accept” the U.S. embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the Lebanon-based deputy chief of Iran’s narco-terrorist proxy Hezbollah declared hours before the dedication of the new American consulate building on Monday.
Echoing the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), Sheikh Naim Qassem also vowed a “full-fledged and unrestricted battle” against what Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency described as “occupiers” in Israel.
Palestinians and their allies often use “occupier” to refer to the Israelis and their allies.
In December, the terrorist-linked MB, consistent with the position of other jihadist groups, pledged to “shed blood” and “wage war” against the United States after American President Donald Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and directed his government to move the American embassy to the city.
According to the Iranian Tasnim News Agency, Qassem indicated on Monday that “Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement dismissed any attempt at compromise with Israel [over the U.S. embassy move], saying the Palestinian nation will never be defeated but will keep resistance against the Tel Aviv regime.”
Qassem’s comments came at a meeting of the International Union of Resistance Scholars in Beirut marking the 70th anniversary of Israel’s founding—what the Palestinians refer to as the Nakba, or “catastrophe.”
“God willing, the nakba that happened 70 years ago will be a motive for change and liberation,” Qassem said.
