Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Sebastia in occupied al-Quds, Atallah Hanna, delivered a eulogy for the former Secretary-General of Hezbollah, martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
"In just a few days, Lebanon will witness an extraordinary and historic event—the funeral of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and his fellow martyrs," Archbishop Hanna said.
"From al-Quds, we stand in reverence and honor for his sacrifices, as well as those of his companions, who stood with Palestine, defended it, and paid a heavy price for its cause," he expressed, adding, "We remain loyal to these sacrifices, and the entire Palestinian people remain faithful to the sacrifices of His Eminence and his comrades."
"As we extend our condolences from the heart of our sacred city, we affirm that we will never forget those who stood by Palestine in the darkest times and most difficult circumstances."
In a related context, Hanna warned that today, the Palestinian cause is the target of conspiracies, as enemies seek to displace the Palestinian people and annihilate their cause, however, he underlined that the Palestinian people will never surrender and will remain steadfast in their rights, principles, and unwavering convictions.
"The word 'surrender' has no place in our vocabulary as Palestinians," he underscored.
"We are one family, one Ummah, standing against colonial projects that do not target Palestine alone, but the entire Ummah. Our message has always been, and will remain, that Palestine is the compass," Hanna affirmed, urging those who set their sights elsewhere to correct their course.
The Archbishop stressed the need for Christians and Muslims of all sects to stand united, especially in these times, as enemies seek division and fragmentation, to incite sectarianism and discord so they can push forward their colonial plans that target Palestine and the Ummah.
"We, Christians and Muslims of the Levant, will remain one united Ummah, with al-Quds as our compass and Palestine as our cause," Hanna emphasized, underscoring the need to prevent any side or entity from advancing projects aimed at further division and fragmentation.
"We are one family—this is who we have always been, and this is who we will remain," he concluded.
