🟡🟢 Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem in an interview with El Mundo (2/2):
—
What happened on October 7 was a great act by oppressed Palestinians against an occupation that left them no choice in the last 75 years, where they suffered assassinations, the creation of settlements, the siege of Gaza or continuous assaults on the Al-Aqsa Mosque. For all this, we consider it a very important and noble act, even if some details could have been avoided. But "israel" and the US cannot use that as a pretext to justify all these massacres.

We have to focus on the main objective of the attack. It was an act of resistance that aimed to resolve issues such as the release of prisoners. We can't focus on details to justify those massacres. You have to go to the origin of things. Who caused October 7th? It was the zionist occupation. October 7 is a reaction [to the occupation]. Have you had the opportunity to count the number of people killed by "israel" in the last 75 years? Tens of thousands have been killed, injured or imprisoned without any justification other than being the landowners. Why are you asking me about a limited number of people in a justified operation?

You heard Nasrallah in 2006 say that "israel" was more fragile than a spider's web. "Israel" is weak. Its society is not motivated to defend its country. That's what happened on October 7th. The number of hours it took for the politicians and the army to react was unreal. If "israel" is still standing, it's because of the support of the U.S. Otherwise, it would have collapsed in a few days. "Israel" is under intensive care from the West, and we don't know how long it will last.

[Asked: "If you do not recognize 'israel' and 'Tel Aviv' has been blocking the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state for years, how can you reach a solution to this endless conflict?]

The Palestinians do not recognize "israel" and will never surrender under the threat of force. They will never give up their land. "Israel" doesn't require justification for its attacks; they have been the occupiers and aggressors from the beginning, and they continue to increase their aggressions against Gaza. You should be asking "israel" why it continues the occupation and why the West protects them. Stability will only return to the region when the occupation ends.

The problem with your questions is that they are poorly framed, and that's why you don't find answers. They are asked as if "israel" had a right to this land and was the aggrieved party. The reality is that the Palestinians are the occupied and "israel" is the occupier. We have to confront the problem of the occupation, not the resistance to the occupation.

For Hezbollah, "israel" has no right to exist, and the Palestinians are the real owners of that land. But it is the Palestinians, including the Palestinian Jews, who can decide their future. Those who have come from all over the world have no right to steal that land.
[End of answer]

Hezbollah's stance is that Palestine stretches from the river to the sea. But it is up to the Palestinians to decide their future.

[Asked about Mahmoud Abbas' legitimacy]: The Palestinians are the ones who decide what they do, and we accept those decisions. We cannot say who represents them.

[In response to zionist plans to displace all Gazans:] If "israel" decides to extend the aggression, it will be digging its own grave and will give a good opportunity for it to be eliminated once and for all.
