The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, underlined that the deployment of US aircraft carriers to the region, which aims to boost the morale of the Israeli occupation and its frustrated soldiers, reveals the weakness of the Israeli occupation's military apparatus despite the crimes and massacres it commits.
This step also underscores the ongoing need for external support for the "temporary entity" in order to "provide it with the means of survival," according to Hezbollah's statement.
The party emphasized that this American action "will not intimidate the peoples of our nation or the resistance factions prepared for confrontation until victory and complete liberation."
Hezbollah added that the political positions and civil measures taken by the Biden administration, especially the recent statements by President Joe Biden, "were not surprising at all."
According to the statement, Biden's remarks, including "the clear stance and open support for the Zionist killing machine and aggression against the Palestinian people," are the true essence of American policy in its continuous support for aggression and terrorism since the establishment of the Israeli occupation.
Hezbollah stressed that the United States is an all-out accomplice in the Israeli aggression, holding it "fully responsible for the killing, crimes, siege, and the horrifying destruction of homes and the massacres against innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly."
The party called on "the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation who know the true nature of Washington and its aggression against the people in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, to condemn US intervention and its international and regional partners."
Hezbollah called for exposing US interventionism at all levels, including political, popular, media, and legal interventionism, in all international and regional forums.
US right at your doorstep
US President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that he ordered moving aircraft carrier Gerald Ford to the eastern Mediterranean with the aim of supporting the US naval presence in the Middle East.
"The Department of Defense has moved the USS Jr. Ford carrier strike group from the eastern Mediterranean and bolstered our fighter aircraft presence. We stand ready to move in additional assets as needed," he revealed after his administration pledged to send the naval vessel to help the Israeli occupation.
Biden on Sunday affirmed that the United States supports "Israel" and is committed to providing the necessary aid to ensure its continued aggression against the Palestinian Resistance.
"The United States stands with "Israel." We will not ever fail to have their back, we will make sure that they have the help their citizens need, and they can continue to defend themselves," Biden said during a press conference.
He went on to call Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, launched by Hamas against the Israeli occupation "sheer evil" while completely disregarding all the actions taken by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians.
"There are moments in this life - I mean this literally - when a pure unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world," he said during a speech from the White House. "This is an act of sheer evil."
Biden still failed to mention that the Israeli occupation was brutally killing civilians, using white phosphorus, and bombing religious sites and schools where people typically seek refuge in times of war.
"Let me say again, to any country, any organization, anyone thinking of taking advantage of the situation. I have one word, don't. Don't. Our hearts may be broken, but our resolve is clear," he stressed, possibly responding to the statements that came out of Iraq and Yemen, to name a few, regarding offering help to Palestine.
Support for Palestine
The Yemeni people are ready to do everything in their power to fulfill their sacred duty of standing by the Palestinian people, the Yemeni Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said during a speech commenting on the latest developments in occupied Palestine.
"Our people are ready to mobilize in the hundreds of thousands and join the Palestinian people to confront the enemy, and we will not hesitate to do whatever is possible," he added.
There are red lines when it comes to the situation unfolding in Gaza, and there is coordination between the Axis of Resistance, he said. "We are coordinating with the Axis of Resistance, and if the Americans make a direct military intervention, we are ready to participate, even with missile strikes and drone strikes."
"It is a duty to support the Palestinians with everything in our possession, and it is not permissible for this nation to stand by while Western countries help the criminal enemy," Sayyed al-Houthi stressed.
Moreover, Sayyed al-Shuhadaa Brigades of Iraq warned Monday Washington against any interference in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
According to Lebanese news outlet Al-Ahed, the group stressed that "Palestine is not Ukraine" and that any interference or support the US extends to the Israeli entity would make US bases in the region targets for the Resistance.
The Group expressed that any support would be met with retaliation and zero red lines would remain uncrossed.
