Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah spoke at a conference in Beirut marking Al-Quds (Jerusalem) day and emphasized that Israel's "unprecedented crisis" amid the government's attempts to overhaul the judiciary indicates a "positive direction" for forces of resistance.
Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas's Political Bureau also spoke at the conference, expressing that the "rift" within Israeli public is a "hint that the country is on the path of disintegration."
Amid the current flare-up between Israel and militant groups in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and the West Bank, and after Israeli riot police violently dispersed Muslim worshippers in the Temple Mount earlier this month during Ramadan prayers, leaders of the terror organizations convened on Thursday in Beirut to mark Al-Quds day.
Nasrallah declared that the "era of exclusive U.S. control in the region is over," and welcomed the renewed Iranian-Saudi relations, saying it "serves the axis of resistance." Nasrallah also offered his views on Israel's "unprecedented crisis" over the government's plan to overhaul the judiciary and the subsequent mass protests that followed it, saying it allows for the "forces of resistance to move in a positive direction".
"What should occupy us now," Nasrallah concluded, "is how to support the resistance in the West Bank and in all of Palestine."
Haniyeh said that the resistance against Israel is "recovering mainly in the West Bank", which is linked to the struggle currently waged in the Gaza strip, and called for continued presence on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which he defined as "Jihad." Haniyeh also welcomed the Iranian-Saudi agreement, remarking that it will have a "positive effect" on several countries, including war-torn Yemen.
Haniyeh also remarked on Israel's internal "rift," saying it is a "hint that the country is on the path of disintegration," and is part of a larger change in the region which includes the "withdrawal of the U.S. and its dominance in the region." These signals "bode well" for the forces of resistance against Israel, he concluded.
A week of escalation in Israel saw one of the most intense onslaught on all fronts: the northern border with Lebanon and Syria, the Gaza border and the West Bank.
Earlier this month, Israeli police forcefully cleared out overnight worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan. Nineteen Palestinians are injured and around 350 are arrested.
A day later, Militants from the Gaza Strip fired 16 rockets at Israeli border towns, hitting a factory in Sderot. Two more rockets were fired toward Israel during the Passover Seder.
Subsequently, 34 rockets were launched from southern Lebanon toward northern Israel, the most intense aerial attack on Israel from its northern border since the 2006 war, as mortar shells were also fired from Lebanon toward the northern town of Metula.
Additionally, rockets were launched from Syria toward the Golan Heights in Israel. Most of them hit open areas, while one was successfully intercepted by the Iron Dome.
In the West Bank, a Palestinian shot and killed an Israeli mother and her two daughters, and In Tel Aviv, an Italian tourist was killed and seven others were injured by an Arab citizen of Israel in a ramming attack on the beach promenade.
Despite the flare-up, protests against the Israeli government's judicial overhaul were carried out across Israel last Saturday for the 14th week in a row.
