Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah began by congratulating Muslims on the auspicious occasion of birth anniversary of Imam Ali, the first infallible Imam of the Prophet Household (peace be upon them) and on the occasion of the Resistance and Liberation Day to the Lebanese.
“We should not forget the victories in May 25 and July which are the victories of the whole nation, neither we should forget the Nakba or Naksa of Palestine [Day of Catastrophe]”, Nasrallah said.
Referring to the Lebanese army’s lack of experience and facility, Nasrallah said should the Lebanese army was armed enough, it could fight as the resistance does.
“Our state can't protect a funeral in Sidon, it can't stop clashes in Tripoli and hadn't yet reached a consensus on an electoral law. It's too weak to take a powerful decision in defending Lebanon and deterring any Israeli aggression”, Nasrallah stated, adding that “at the same time, the Zionist entity is preparing everyday and planning for war”.
“I call for all sides in Lebanon to keep the fighting in Syria away from Lebanon. Clashes in Tripoli have no future”, said the Hezbollah chief, referring to recent clashes in Tripoli, which have left several people dead or injured.
Nasrallah also expounded on the Syrian people’s call for reform, which was hijacked by certain foreign-backed terror entities from the beginning.
“Since the first days of the Syrian crisis, I said that the Syrian government has many positive features especially in its support to the resistance, but we also said it has negatives ones and needs reform”, he said, adding that “President Assad vowed to enforce reforms and was ready to talk to the opposition but it [the opposition] refused”.
“The so-called ‘Friends of Syria’ conference days ago didn't realize the huge interference by terrorists from various countries and just was aware of some of Hezbollah members who entered Syria only months ago”, Nasrallah said.
“All of the Lebanese people are threatened, especially the Sunnis, if those Takfiri groups in Syria controlled the border villages with Lebanon”, he added.
