Watan-Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah delivered a new message in which he spoke about “Preparing to Liberate Palestine” at the twelfth international conference titled “Gaza, Symbol of Resistance.”
Representing Hezbollah in Tehran, Abdullah Safieddine conveyed the speech, stating, “The Gaza conference imposes significant responsibilities on all of us, requiring constant mobilization of the nation’s capabilities in support of the Palestinian people.”
The message highlighted that Israel’s losses in Gaza, in terms of officers and soldiers, exceed by far what it lost in the 1967 war. Nasrallah emphasized that the Israeli forces, which advanced over 69,000 square kilometers in the six-day war, were defeated in a portion of Gaza, unable to achieve their goals or declare occupation or approach victory.
He noted that the Israeli forces are retreating and withdrawing, transitioning to a new phase. Therefore, it is natural and appropriate for the conference’s slogan to be “Gaza, Symbol of Resistance,” according to Nasrallah.
Key points from Hassan Nasrallah’s message include:
- The Israeli occupation and its masters worked on two parallel tracks since the occupation of Palestine.
- The first track involved the legislation of the occupation internationally, polishing its image as a civilized exemplary entity that can serve as a model for the region.
- The second track aimed to weaken and stifle the Palestinian people’s resistance and eliminate their cause, removing it from the global discourse through reliance on force.
- The normalization option was a project to subdue the nation’s will, squander its central cause, and shatter its unity.
Regarding the recent events in Gaza:
- The “Aqsa Flood” operation in Gaza transformed threats into advanced existential opportunities and marked a turning point.
- The flood deeply impacted the psyche of the Zionists, causing an indelible defeat. The myth shattered, the model crumbled, authority disappeared, and the project faltered.
- The Palestinian cause, suppressed for a long time, returned to dominate global discussions, rekindling global interest and emerging as a universal issue.

Nasrallah emphasized that the resistance’s support for Gaza came from various regions, surpassing the enemy’s expectations, and the resistance factions successfully besieged the usurping entity with fire for over 100 days.
He concluded by stating that the confrontation with the Israeli occupation is continuous and ongoing, stressing the need for the resistance to remain vigilant in this ongoing battle. The gathering of fleets from arrogant states in support of Israel only weakens and shakes them, reinforcing the resistance’s will to confront.
