U.N. Security Council resolution 1701 is unjust because it held us responsible for the 2006 war
Hizbullah”s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah considered said that accusation made against Hamas, of holding it responsible for the war in Gaza resembles holding Hizbullah responsible for the July 2006 war with Israel.
"U.N. Security Council resolution 1701 is unjust because it held us responsible for the 2006 war," Nasrallah said.
He pointed that Hamas had two choices "either to extend the truce with Israel and die of hunger, or end the truce and break the siege," he said.
During a Ashura celebration on Tuesday, Nasrallah said that only the Hamas leadership in Gaza is the decision maker, it alone accepts or rejects the decision for calm.
" The resistance was never and shall never be anyone”s pawn. During the July 2006 war neither the Syrian nor the Iranian leaderships knew about the operation for capturing the Israeli soldiers. We carried out the operation and we alone take responsibility," he said.
"The U.N Security Council resolution 1701 is unjust because it held us responsible for the July 2006 war, he explained.
Nasrallah went on to add: "Iranian officials come to me not to present decisions, rather to consult, discuss and ask how to best offer help according to their capabilities."
He paid tribute to the recent visit to Lebanon by the Secretary of Iran”s Supreme Security Council Saeed Jalili.
Hizbullah”s Secretary-General went to accuse some Arab regimes of attempting to "confiscate the decision of the true resistance in Palestine.
"Calls have been made for holding an Arab Summit with whom ever attends and this is the least of what can be done," he said.
He ended by calling of Hizbullah followers to assemble tomorrow in celebrating the last rites of the Ashura saying: "Regardless of the weather tomorrow, you are called upon to renew your pledge of hostility to Israel and the Great Satan that orders Israel," he ended.
