Netanyahu Lost the War and Cannot Defeat Hamas: Hezbollah's Nasrallah Says
Even if you go to Rafah, you have lost the war and cannot eliminate Hamas or the resistance in Gaza, he says.
Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s secretary-general, gave a rare speech on Wednesday night and said Israel will not defeat Hamas or the resistance movement even if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes good on his promise to go into Rafah.
Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging missile fire in a slow-burn war playing out in Israel’s north. The Lebanese group is considered much more formidable than Hamas and has more advanced missile technology.
“Today, in the sixth month, Netanyahu stands up to say that if we do not go to Rafah, we will lose the war," Nasrallah said. “Even if you go to Rafah, you have lost the war and cannot eliminate Hamas or the resistance in Gaza. A sign of defeat is that Israel is negotiating with Hamas six months into the war, despite all the massacres” he said.
His Comments
“The Israeli army, after 5 months, suffers shortages in many aspects and wants to recruit 14,500 officers and soldiers, even from the Haredim" - Al Mayadeen
"The Israeli army today is exhausted and drained on all fronts, and the number of its [casualties] is very large and much greater than declared. On the northern front, there is severe secrecy regarding losses in terms of soldiers, military vehicles, and others." Al Mayadeen
Netanyahu said Sunday that his forces will move into Rafah, despite the concern from Washington and other countries.
“We're not going to leave. You know, I have a red line. You know what the red line is, that October 7 doesn't happen again. Never happens again,” he said, according to Politico.
Rafah has become a Ground Zero for displaced Gazans. Over a million of the country’s 2.3 million people have taken refuge in the southern city. There is nowhere else for these people to go for a safe haven. These people survive by the day, with little access to food and hardly any potable drinking water.
Israel is making Gaza uninhabitable for the Palestinian people to either kill as many as they can or force them into Egypt.
Netanyahu has said that there will be no Palestinian state as long as he’s in charge—a slap in the face to the Biden administration and the war whores in Congress who have said a two-state solution is the only avenue to peace in the region.
Nasrallah is a real man and a real leader.
