Nasrallah says Hezbollah in Syria to stay
The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah says his men will not leave Syria even if the whole world tried to force them to do so, adding that only a request from the Syrian government would prompt such a move.
Hassan Nasrallah’s comment comes during a televised speech he gave to hundreds of supporters who gathered in the village of Maroun el-Ras on Lebanon’s border with Israel to mark Jerusalem Day.
The close ally of Iran says Israeli claims that Iran is planning to resume uranium enrichment to wipe out six million Jews in Israel are lies. Iran and its allies don’t want to kill Jews, he adds.
“The day of the great battle” in the Middle East is coming, he says, as is the day “when we will all go and pray in Jerusalem.”
