Officials of Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Lebanon said the resistance went beyond the red lines during the latest offensive against Gaza, stressing the besieged strip was no more the ‘weakest link’ in the struggle with the Zionist entity.
Ali BarakehIn an interview with al-Manar website, Hamas representative in Lebanon, Ali Barakeh, asserted that the Zionist entity was really weaker than a spider web.
He said that Gaza had many repercussions on the Palestinian cause. It has assured that the resistance is the rightful path to return the Quds and not that of talks and compromises.
“The will of the Palestinians is more powerful than the occupation’s,” Barakeh told our website, stressing: “Gaza is no more the weakest link in the conflict with the Israeli enemy.”

The interview was conducted during a conference in Beirut, titled by: “The Islamists in the Arab World and the Palestinian Cause.”

“The Palestinians are not alone in the front, the nation stand beside them. For, this victory is for the nation, it is not exclusive for the Palestinians,” Barakeh said.

He praised the popular embracing of the resistance saying it was part of the equation that led to Gaza victory.

Barakeh added that the other element in this equation was the resistance’s weapons, “some of which were local-made and some were Iranian-made.”

In this context, he stressed the importance of the nation’s support to the Palestinian resistance.


RELATION WITH IRAN, HEZBOLLAHAli Barakeh

On the Iranian support to the Palestinian resistance, he asserted that the relation with the Islamic Republic has not been cut despite the disagreements on the Syrian crisis.
“The relation and the coordination between Hamas and the Iranians are still going on,” Hamas official said.

“We praise the Iranian role in supporting the resistance and the Palestinian people. We thank the Iranian assistance which has an important role in the victory we have achieved.”

On the other hand, Barakeh stressed that the relation with Hamas and Hezbollah was good.

“There is cooperation and coordination between the two parties concerning the struggle with the Zionist entity.”

“We have usual and periodic meetings,” he said, adding: “We are in the same trench together.”
“He also hoped that the relation would develop in the coming period “especially following the victory in Gaza, since the struggle with the Zionist entity would not come to an end by this ceasefire.”
“This truce is just a round and the struggle will persist until the real victory which will be achieved when all the Palestinian territories are liberated,” Barakeh said further.


RIFAI: TEL AVIV ENETERS THE EQUATION

Abu Imad RifaiFor his part, Islamic Jihad representative in Lebanon Abu Imad Rifai said that following the latest Israeli assault on Gaza, “every spot in the occupied Palestine can be reached now by the Palestinian resistance’s rockets.”

“The latest victory has included new geographical areas in the equation of the confrontation with the Zionist entity, like Tel Aviv.”

“This equation has a great impact not only on the image of the Israeli enemy but also on the red lines which were fallen as every spot in the occupied Palestine can be reached by the resistance’s rockets,” Rifai told al-Manar Website.

“The Israeli assault against the Palestinian people is a continuous aggression, and the latest offensive on Gaza had several goals of which all were thwarted.”

“It is enough to foil the Zionist goals to say that what happened in Gaza last week was a distinct victory. And that what boosted the choice of resistance,” he added.

Rifai also noted that one of the Israeli enemy’s aims of the latest assault on Gaza was “to test the change which the region has witnessed in the last two years.”

“What distinguished this year’s offensive from the assault on Gaza in 2008-2009 are the changes in the region.”

“The so-called “moderate Arabs” are not like before, despite that their support to Palestine is not enough yet,” he said further.
