Hizbullah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah slammed the Saudi policy in the region, particularly the one leading to the normalization with the apartheid “Israeli” entity.

In a speech he delivered commemorating the late Resistance Leader Ismail Ahmad Zahri, he hailed Zahri who represents the first generation of fighters who joined the Resistance movement.

“The late commander Zahri was one of the commanders who contributed greatly to Lebanon’s victory against 2006 “Israeli” aggression,” he said.

His Eminence further mentioned:

“Haj Zahri held the leadership and responsibilities in some Resistance positions and participated and fought in many operations. He [Abu Khalil] is the title of a long-term of Jihad and sacrifice among the resistance ranks.”

“With such devoted leaders we shall triumph,” Sayyed Nasrallah confirmed.

Denouncing the fact that

“the Arab world is in its worst conditions ever,” he highlighted that “the Resistance is the real guarantee for the protection of Lebanon as part of the army, people, and resistance equation that must be protected to protect Lebanon.”

“Even the central cause – Palestine- occupied by the Zionists and which sanctities are being violated on daily basis became very usual and this is what appeared in the recent Arab summit.”

According to His Eminence,

“Today, the biggest development in the bad Arab bad situation is the move of the Saudi Arabia- “Israeli” from being secret out into the public. “Israel” is no longer the enemy of Arabs, and Palestine became a minor cause. This is what the latest Arab statements indicate.”

In this context, Sayyed Nasrallah clarified that he visit of the Saudi General to“Israel” is neither the beginning of a relationship nor of coordination. “It is rather moving from the secret to the public.”

“When a known prince as Turki al- Faisal meets “Israeli” officials and an intelligence official follows suit and visits the occupied land, it cannot happen without the Saudi kingdom’s approval.The Saudi Prince and Brigade’s connections with “Israel” doesn’t contradict the policy of Saudi Arabia. However, it is a move in the relations into surface,” he added.

Moreover, the Resistance Leader underlined that Saudi Arabia started normalization with “Israel” and then the fatwas began to legalize this relation.

“Saudi Arabia is offering “Israel” free normalization away from any prices,” he warned.

Sayyed Nasrallah went on to say,

“When Saudi Arabia intends to negotiate with “Israel”, the negotiations are expected to move in exchange for heavy prices because it is a great favor to “Israel”. However, the Arab nation is distracted and lost and Saudis are exacerbating that. …,” Nasrallah said

On this level, His Eminence cautioned that

“we are in front of doctrinal and cultural disaster because they are moving towards recognizing “Israel” even in the Sharia.”

“Saudi Arabia is opening the door for “Israelis” without setting any conditions [for normalization], but they are seeking to compel those in Yemen to surrender to them, and to humiliate Bahrainis and achieve victory in Syria,” Sayyed Nasrallah said.

However, he assured that the Palestinians have a known and clear choice.

“There is a clear Palestinian vision. It is the approach of the martyr Mohammad al-Faqih. On the subject of “Israel” and Palestine, there is a clear right. There is no room for confusion between right and wrong in this matter.”

As Hizbullah Secretary General slammed the fact that Saudi Arabia is determined to continue the wars in all arenas, he cited that al-Saud continue to refuse dialogue in Bahrain, Yemen and Syria.

“However, they initiated dialogue only with the “Israelis” without prices.”

In response, Sayyed Nasrallah urged all sides to take a clear stance against normalization with “Israel”.

“This behavior must be condemned and rejected, because it serves the enemy that is violating the holy sites and aggressing against the people of Palestine.”

On the regional level, Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized that there is criminality against the Yemenis.

“The massacre committed by Daesh in Sarari was covered by the Saudis because this the culture of Saudi Arabia, Wahhabism, Daesh and al-Nusra even if it was renamed,” he stressed.

Slamming the Bahraini regime’s continuous crackdown against people, Sayyed Nasrallah hailed the protesters in Bahrain who so far prevented the authority from arresting Sheikh Issa Qassem.

“The regime in Bahrain is now falsely accusing Sheikh Qassem, who is well known for his integrity, of money laundering, which reflects their bankruptcy,” His Eminence viewed.

Commenting on the Saudi stance over the Syrian crisis, he stated:

“The Saudi foreign minister declared himself governor and custodian of the Syrian people. What the Saudi FM, Jubeir, presented to Russia is farce and a cause for laugh. We tell the Saudis that they cannot win this war or impose their conditions.”

“Does the Saudi minister and his rulers think that they are able to laugh at the people of the world?” he wondered.

To the Saudi rulers, Sayyed Nastallah said:

“Those who slaughtered the priest in the church belonged to Daesh but they carried your culture. Those who carried out massacres in Nice and Karrada and those who slaughtered the Palestinian child believe in your takfiri, Wahhabist ideology.”

“Your scheme has no future and Saudi Arabia and its rulers have a chance to contain the situation. The Yemenis, Bahrainis, Syrians, Iranians and Iraqis are ready to negotiate. Do not be arrogant and do not be blinded by malice. You should rather be partners in addressing the situations in the region.”

Welcoming the new ground achievements in Aleppo, Sayyed Nasrallah said:

“What happened in Aleppo is highly important and has an impact on the regional equations. Imperial dreams have fallen in Aleppo in the face of the perseverance of the resistance and the people.”

Arab-“Israeli” member of the Knesset Issawi Frej told Zionist media on Sunday that preparations are ongoing for a visit of opposition members in the “Israeli” parliament to Saudi Arabia-a first of its kind.

Frej, 52, member of the left-leaning Meretz party told the broadcasting service Voice of “Israel” that a Saudi delegation that visited the occupied territories last week and met with opposition MPs expressed willingness to enhance relations with the Zionist entity.

The Saudi delegation was headed by retired general Anwar Eshki and included academics and businessmen but, according to “Israeli” media, did not include officials.

However, the delegation met with Zionist officials including director general of the “Israeli” foreign ministry Dore Gold.

Both the Saudi visit and the planned “Israeli” one serve as an example of the rapidly developing bilateral relations between the two sides that have been officially unrecognized since the two close-in-age parts were established.

The first announced cooperation between both sides came this year in April as the “Israeli” war minister Moshe Ya’alon told media that, as part of the Egyptian-Saudi maritime demarcation deal which saw the transfer of sovereignty of two Red Sea islands to the Gulf kingdom, a quartet agreement that included the US on the transfer needed to be reached beforehand.

Ya’alon also said that Saudi Arabia agreed to ensure free shipping for all parties through the straits.

According to “Israeli” media, the deal was part of the subjects of mutual interest that were in discussion when Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry visited the occupied lands earlier this month.

The deal was publicly criticized in Egypt and was recently annulled by a court ruling. However, an appeal by the government is being reviewed by the High Administrative Court.
