Nasrallah: No Substitute for Dialogue at Present

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stressed the need not to wait for the developments in the region to find solutions for the lingering crises and to adhere to dialogue among the rival politicians in a bid to find solutions.

“We should not wait for regional developments to find solutions for our problems. We should take the ongoing dialogue seriously because there is no substitute” said Nasrallah in a televised appearance marking the end of the annual Ashura.

Addressing massive crowds that gathered in Beirut’s southern suburb on the occasion, he said: “They have waited for the Iranian nuclear agreement to be finalized thinking that Iran would abandon us, and it did not. They have waited for the fall of Syria, but Syria will not fall. They shall not benefit from this opportunity.

"In Lebanon we are the masters of our decisions.”

Hizbullah has sent elite forces across the border with Syria to bolster Assad's regime in the face of an Islamist-led uprising.

Nasrallah renewed support for the Palestinian people in their fight against “Zionism,” he said: “On this great day I hereby announce that we renew our support for the Palestinian people and call on the Islamic world to back them in defending al-Aqsa.”

“We shall continue our struggle to confront the American projects. Just like we defeated Israel, the takfiris and their American masters will be defeated as well.”

On the conflict in Yemen, Nasrallah voiced support for its people denouncing the Saudi intervention in the fight, he said: “We denounce the attacks against Yemen and its innocent people. We are proud of their resilience.”
