Referring to the recent aggression of the Zionist regime against the Gaza Strip, the Hezbollah chief said, “We all know that Netanyahu is the one who initiated this aggression by assassinating the three Islamic Jihad commanders.”

Nasrallah also praised the calmful performance of the Islamic Jihad, saying that the resistance stance was united through the Joint Operations Room of the Resistance Factions.

“Lebanon is called to restore ties with Syria, what are we waiting for?, he said, adding that restoring ties with Syria serves Lebanon’s national interest.  
“Handling the issue of Syrian refugees requires dispatching Lebanese ministerial delegation to Damascus and a national stance that doesn’t yield to foreign pressures in this regard,” Nasrallah noted. 
He then pointed to the election in Lebanon, saying that there are positive developments in the Lebanese presidential elections.
“Hezbollah has announced his nominee for the presidential post, it doesn’t impose him on any side,” Nasrallah said.
“There is need for the caretaker government to assume its responsibilities as long as there is no president is elected.”
