Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahwi has praised Hezbollah for its resilience against "Israel", declaring that the Lebanese Resistance movement has “brought the Zionist enemy to its knees” and “rubbed its nose in the dirt.”  

Speaking on Saturday evening, al-Rahwi emphasized Hezbollah’s ability to grow stronger despite losing key leaders, asserting that the movement had evolved into a regional powerhouse that stands with oppressed nations, particularly the Palestinian people.  

His remarks came ahead of the funeral procession in Beirut for the late Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and the former head of the group’s Executive Council, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine. Al-Rahwi described the event as a testament to Hezbollah’s influence and widespread support.  

“The martyrs of Islam, the Muslim world, and humanity—Nasrallah and Safieddine—are symbols of liberty, independence, defense of truth, and resistance against falsehood,” he said.  

Al-Rahwi also highlighted Sayyed Nasrallah’s unwavering support for Yemen, recalling that the Hezbollah leader was among the first to stand with the country during the Saudi-American aggression. He noted that Sayyed Nasrallah enjoys deep respect among Yemenis, as seen in weekly demonstrations across the nation.

Addressing the Lebanese people and Hezbollah supporters, the Yemeni prime minister assured them that the sacrifices of the fallen resistance leaders would only serve to strengthen their resolve in the face of challenges.  

“Nasrallah is a global figure from whom you can draw inspiration for strength and patience. He left behind a lasting legacy that is the source of your power,” al-Rahwi concluded.

Momentous funeral procession

Hezbollah is holding a massive funeral procession Sunday for its historic leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and its former Secretary General, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine. The ceremony is expected to draw a significant crowd, both from Lebanon and abroad, with high-level political and religious figures in attendance.

Since before the crack of dawn, the streets of the Lebanese capital have been flooded with mourners arriving from all regions. By 6:00 AM local time, Beirut’s Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium was already filled with participants, some of whom spent the night outdoors to secure a place at the ceremony.

The funeral procession is scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM local time (11:00 GMT) at the stadium, where the coffins of the two leaders will arrive in a specially designed vehicle. Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem is expected to deliver a speech before the procession moves toward Sayyed Nasrallah’s final resting place on the outskirts of Beirut’s Southern Suburb.

Giant portraits of Sayyed Nasrallah and Sayyed Safieddine have been hung on the exterior walls of the stadium and along the roads leading to the funeral site. Thousands of additional seats have been arranged inside the venue to accommodate the massive turnout.

The organizing committee has confirmed the participation of official delegations from Lebanon and abroad, with representatives from 79 countries attending in both official and popular capacities. High-ranking figures from Iran, Iraq, and other nations are also present.
