The Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, addressed the attendees of the "12th Conference of Gaza: A Symbol of Resistance," which was held in Tehran on Saturday.

Sayyed Nasrallah's address came in the form of a letter read out by Hezbollah's representative Abdullah Safieddine who attended the conference in Iran.

The leader of the Lebanese party emphasized that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood struck down all attempts to eliminate the Palestinian cause. Stressing the cruciality of the conference, which comes at a historic moment for the Palestinian cause, Sayyed Nasrallah said the event demonstrates the organizers' sense of responsibility toward the Palestinian people, their cause, and their Resistance.

"We all have grave responsibilities, which [require us to be constantly] alert to mobilize the Ummah's capabilities in support of the Palestinian people and in support of their valiant Resistance," Sayyed Nasrallah wrote.

Gaza's Resistance outperformed multiple regional armies

He explained that the Palestinian Resistance "is rightly writing, with its sacrifices, heroism, the blood of its men, and [steadfastness of its people], the future of the Ummah, preserving its dignity and consolidating its strength."

Marking the successes of the Palestinian Resistance, the leader of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon pointed to the large human losses suffered by the Israeli occupation's military in the Gaza Strip. He said that the amount of losses suffered far exceeds what the Israeli occupation suffered in the 1967 Six Day War, which involved the armies of multiple Arab nations.

Moreover, the leader shed light on the fact that the Israeli military, which occupied more than 69,000 km2 in the 1967 war, is currently experiencing defeat in a much smaller territory — the Gaza Strip.

Bidirectional plot to legitimize 'Israel': Failing

On another note, the Resistance leader discussed the political plots to "legitimize" the Israeli occupation on an international and regional level, in what he explained is a bidirectional plot to do so.

He explained that this plot has seen the cooperation of Israelis and "their masters" and concentrated on legitimizing the occupation on an international level and weakening and stifling the Resistance of the Palestinian people.

Firstly, "Israel" and its allies worked on whitewashing the occupation's image, seeking to portray it as a "civilized entity" worthy of emulation by other governments in the region as a flawless model, Sayyed Nasrallah asserted.

He said that the plan reaped great results for the alliance, due to its hegemonic control over major international institutions and Western governments.

Secondly, "Israel" and its allies worked to weaken and stifle the Resistance and liquidate the Palestinian cause, attempting to eliminate the topic from popular discourse. In detail, the alliance depended on brute force, as well as promoting normalization with the region's regimes.

He said that the alliance's push to normalize relations with regimes in the region is a multi-faceted project aimed at subjugating the will of the Ummah, squandering its central cause — Palestine — and shattering the unity of political choices. Sayyed Nasrallah said that the world was on the verge of witnessing the limiting of the scope of the Palestinian cause to Palestinians themselves, which would have isolated it from the people of the Ummah, severely weakening it and placing it on the path of decline.

Al-Aqsa Flood turned the table on 'Israel'

The leader of Lebanon's Islamic Resistance continued, "At this critical moment, the Resistance's Al-Aqsa Flood came to shuffle the cards, alter (political) calculations, and turn the threat into an advanced existential opportunity — a turning point in the [plots] that the enemies have worked [to advance] for a long time."

Sayyed Nasrallah said the events of October 7 and what proceeded have been "deeply engraved in the hearts of the Zionists" to constantly remind them of the "irreversible defeat" that they suffered.

He said that the Operation shattered the Israeli "myth", bringing to light the entity's "eroding prestige" and "shaky project". The leader said that Al-Aqsa Flood pushed back the Palestinian cause, which the Israelis sought to stifle, to dominating global discourse and politics, "reawakening it once again" to spread throughout the "world's corridors".

A beacon of unity

Sayyed Nasrallah said that the Operation dealt a severe blow to all conspirators, "near and far," who attempted to "erase the Palestinian cause." He reiterated a strong belief that the Palestinian cause "would not have survived without its Resistance, its rifle, and its sacrifices."

He stressed that the brutal massacres and crimes executed by the Israeli regime all aim to cover up the image of resounding defeat that the occupation had suffered on October 7.

The leader stressed that despite US-UK-led West's exhaustive attempts to impose "projects of fragmentation, deception, and manipulation," Palestine stood solely as "the only beacon of unity." The leader described Palestine as a "converging path, a foundation for [the Ummah's] awakening, and a bridge to a [good] future awaited by" the people of this region.

Supporting fronts marks unprecedented achievements

In his letter, Sayyed Nasrallah paid special attention to the role of factions supporting the Palestinian Resistance, in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. He said that the actions of these factions surpassed the Israeli regime's expectations, adding that they successfully besieged the entity with consistent fire for more than 100 days.

This, to Sayyed Nasrallah, is "an unprecedented achievement."

The blood of the martyrs who supported Gaza on all the aforementioned fronts, in addition to Iran's martyrs, including Seyyed Razi Mousavi, has been "united, merged and integrated with the blood of martyrs in Gaza and the West Bank."

Marking their unity by taking aim at the common enemy has disturbed the enemies of the Ummah, Sayyed Nasrallah wrote. In this context, he emphasized the need to work on strengthening, deepening, and extending this unity, which has been marked by "blood, rifles, battlefields, and goals".

Resistance is the only option 

Importantly, the Resistance leader said, "Whoever thinks this nation has an option other than resistance is mistaken and extremely deluded."

He explained that "Israel" occupied Palestine through brute force — not diplomacy. Expanding on this point, Sayyed Nasrallah said the use of brute force has been a common historical practice of "Israel", which deployed the same strategy to occupy Beirut in 1982 and today threatens the nation with its military arsenal and brute force.

Drawing a comparison to the achievements of the Resistance, Sayyed Nasrallah underlined the fact that "Israel" did not withdraw from Lebanon due to diplomacy but was forcibly pushed out by the Resistance. 

"[The occupation] will not withdraw from Gaza and Palestine except through resistance."

Addressing the ongoing battle, Sayyed Nasrallah clarified that confronting the enemy cannot be sized down to a "one or two-day affair." On the contrary, he said the struggle takes a continuous, ongoing, and cumulative form.

"We must remain vigilant. The arrogant countries gathering their fleets to support Israel confirms its weakness and instability. We must consolidate our determination by adhering to the choice of resistance. If the conditions for the liberation of Palestine are not available today, we must prepare for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

International institutions: Futile

Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized that betting on international institutions and the so-called international community is futile and is destined to fail.

"Such a bet that only produces [feelings of] regret, loss, disappointment, and bitterness."

The Resistance leader said that international institutions cannot advance the plight of the nation, since they are "subject to the will of the US administration."

"Their latest farce was the decision condemning Yemen for targeting Israeli ships in defense of Gaza in order to legitimize the US-British aggression on Ansar Allah, ignoring the millions of Palestinian citizens, including martyrs, wounded, detainees, hungry, thirsty, and displaced."
