RNA – Speaking at a ceremony to express solidarity with Palestinian detainees and prisoners in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, Hujjat al-Islam Ali Yasin, the head of the Council of Scholars of Tyre, said. “The unjust ruler who tries to silence the voice of the oppressed will not succeed because the will of the people will prevail.”
Referring to the hunger strikes among Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, the Lebanese Shi’a cleric said the Zionist regime’s prisons are full of Palestinian prisoners with empty stomachs and added that the righteous hunger strikes and protests of the Palestinian people will continue.
Hujjat al-Islam Yasin said Israel is a dagger which has been thrust into the heart of the Arab and Islamic worlds by the colonial and imperial powers of the world in order to gain dominance over them and steal their resources.
“We are celebrating the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Resistance [Hezbollah] in the 2006 33-Day War. This victory, which was achieved by the army, people and Resistance, frustrated the attempts to implement their new Middle East project,” he said.
His Eminence stressed that we are witnessing the beginning of the end for the Zionist regime and this will be achieved through patience and stability of the Resistance in Lebanon.
Hujjat al-Islam Yasin stressed that the forces of the Resistance and its supporters, despite the existence of the conspiracies launched by some Arab countries and global powers to normalize relations with the Zionist enemy, will never accept this issue.
“Such powers have been silent in regard to the occupation of Palestine from 1948 until today,” the cleric stated.
More than 300 Palestinians have taken part in separate hunger strikes at Israeli prisons to voice their outrage over mistreatment and show solidarity with a fellow inmate, Bilal Kayed, a 35-year-old Palestinian prisoner who has been on hunger strike for 51 days in protest at his administrative detention.
