Rasa News Agency reports from Tehran - Shaykh Na’im Qasem, Hezbollah’s deputy secretary-general, has asserted that the resistance forces, which include Hezbollah, Iran, Syria and Palestine as well as the Iraqi resistance, are coherent and cooperative.

Attending the International Conference of Islamic Scholars in Defence of Palestine, Shaykh Qasem noted that resistance is changing and the traditional powers cannot cope with it, adding that that Hezbollah resistance not only liberated Lebanon but also altered the formula as Lebanon is no longer under Zionist occupation, and the Zionist plot in the region has been encountered and frustrated. “The Zionist entity has become unable to frighten the Islamic nation and to demarcate its borders,” he stated.

Shaykh Qasem also underscored that importance of the Islamic unity in face of the Takfiri threat. In this regard, he considered that the Islamic State’s has reached its maximum level of terrorism and it will now weaken.

He stressed that preserving the role of Islam is the priority of the Palestinian cause. He explained that resistance is a path to regain their rights and that the leading position of Iran and Islamic unity represents a framework for future steps to back the Palestinian resistance.
