Hezbollah Hails Ceasefire as 'Grand Victory' for Palestinian Resistance
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Hezbollah has lauded the Palestinian people and their resistance factions for securing what it called a “grand victory” in the recently announced ceasefire deal with Israel.
The Lebanese resistance movement, in a statement on Monday, described the agreement as “the culmination of legendary and historic steadfastness” demonstrated over more than 15 months of Israeli “barbarism.”
“It is an example to be followed in confronting the Zionist-American aggression against our nation and our region,” Hezbollah declared.
The group accused the United States of being complicit in the war, stating, “The United States of America is a full partner in the crimes and genocide committed by the enemy against the Palestinian people.”
Hezbollah further argued that Washington “bears full responsibility due to its continuous and ongoing support for this occupation militarily, security-wise, intelligence-wise, politically and diplomatically.”
"It (the ceasefire) represents a new strategic defeat for the Zionist enemy and its supporters and confirms that the time of imposing dictates has passed and that the will of free peoples is invincible and stronger than all the machines of Zionist and American war and terrorism."
The resistance group emphasized that the deal represented both a political and military achievement for the Palestinian resistance.
“Reaching a ceasefire agreement by imposing the conditions of the resistance and without giving up the rights of the Palestinian people represents a political victory that is added to the military achievement,” it said.
Hezbollah said the Palestinian resistance has proven during this battle that it is strong and capable of breaking the arrogance and tyranny of the enemy.
"It confirmed that this temporary entity is a fragile entity that cannot survive and continue and that it will not enjoy security or stability as long as it continues its aggression against our people, our land and its holy sites."
Hezbollah also denounced the silence of the international community toward the crimes of Israel.
"What the Zionist occupation did during this war by committing the most heinous crimes and genocide, which targeted civilians, children, women and the elderly, will remain a historical witness to the barbarism of this entity and its supporters," it added.
The crimes of Israel, Hezbollah said, "will remain engraved in the memory of generations, and a stigma on the forehead of the silent and indifferent international community."
Elsewhere in the statement, Hezbollah thanked Iran and the resistance front in connection with the ceasefire in Gaza.
"We salute the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, along with our brothers in Yemen."
