"If aiding the Palestinians is a crime, then I am proud of it," Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized.
His eminence noted "that the aim here is to agitate the Egyptian people and to defame Hezbollah's pure and bright image. This aims to only please the Americans and Israelis. the Egyptian regime has failed by all means."
"...Nasrallah's address once again highlights his willingness to gamble, to the point of direct conflict between his organization and the country until recently considered the leader of the Arab world. Nasrallah has been insulting Mubarak since the 2006 Second Lebanon War, when Hezbollah found out that Cairo was pressuring the Olmert government to continue its military attack on Hezbollah. The Egyptian response, for now, is somewhat hesitant, despite the firm steps it has taken on the ground. The most senior official to mention the affair as of last night has been a representative of the general prosecution in Cairo. So far, only anonymous officials have been quoted, warning that Mubarak would not allow Hezbollah to turn his country into a second Lebanon.Weekend editorials in the Egyptian press called Nasrallah an "Iranian agent." In terms of practical steps, the past two days have seen reports of the uncovering of a rocket factory in Egyptian Rafah, the arrest of smugglers on the Israeli border and the capture of a man attempting to smuggle $2 million to Hamas in the Gaza Strip. ...
Israel, which can regard the events with some satisfaction, is keeping a low profile. Hezbollah's penetration into Egypt, now facing a close race for Mubarak's successor, leaves no doubt as to Iran's intentions. This may result in increased security coordination between Israel and Egypt against arms smuggling into the Strip, and will apparently also dictate Cairo's continued cool stance toward Gaza."

Israeli Minister Says Sayyed Nasrallah “Deserves to Die”
12/04/2009 An Israeli cabinet minister said on Sunday that Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah deserved to die. "(Sayyed) Nasrallah deserves death and I hope that those who know what to do with him will act and give him what he deserves," said Israeli occupation Transport Minister Yisrael Katz, who is close to hawkish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israel was defeated by Hezbollah in the Second Lebanon War in 2006 and is widely considered in the Zionist entity to have been a failure.
Katz also told army radio that the "rules of the game must change" in regard to Hamas, which like Hezbollah enjoys the backing of Iran and Syria. "We will soon set out a new policy. We should erect a wall between the Gaza Strip and Israel and we should no longer exercise the slightest responsibility for civil affairs in the Gaza Strip, such as allowing the passage of merchandise."
"All responsibility for civil affairs must be exercised by Egypt," which controlled Gaza before Israel captured the tiny territory in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, he said.
Transportation Minister Katz issues implicit call to kill Nasrallah
After Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah admitted that the Lebanese terror group was transporting arms to the Gaza Strip, Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz said Sunday morning that the smuggling was an act of aggression and expressed hope that the Hizbullah leader would pay the price.
Speaking to Army Radio, Katz said that Nasrallah had been a "marked man since the Lebanon war," and that the weapons smuggling was "an act of war."
The minister went on to say that he hoped that "whoever knows what to do" will make sure Nasrallah "is put in the right place."

The Egyptian press on Sunday slammed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as a war criminal who should be put on trial after he admitted that his militants in Cairo were helping Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
"Senior Palestinian source says Cairo has been waiting to put Islamist organization in its place even since gunmen stormed Rafah crossing in January 2007. Opportunity came when Hamas and Hizbullah crossed red line with funds and arms smuggling, he tells Ynet ...
According to the official, "More than the Egyptians wish to portray (Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan) Nasrallah as a desert plunderer, they want to signal to Hamas that the days of patience are over and that they must prepare for a completely different policy, which will be much tougher." ..."
