Syria-Lebanon-Iran

MP says new Syria dangerous but Hezbollah ''draws strength from God, people'' — Naharnet

2024-12-10

[NAHARNET] MP Hassan Fadlallah announced Monday that ''what's happening in Syria is a major, dangerous and new transformation,'' in the first comments by a Hezbollah official on the fall of Bashir al-Assad's regime at the hands of Islamist-led rebels.

''As to why it happened, that needs an evaluation, but the evaluation will not take place on podiums,'' Fadlallah added.

''Regardless of everything that has happened in Syria, some have started to talk about its impact on Leb
Leb

...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.

''We also draw our strength from our people — and the existence, presence, formations, capabilities and high competencies of the resistance, despite everything that has been inflicted on it in this war,'' the MP added.

''As for Syria's future situation, developments and domestic alliances and problems and what will happen later, we will leave that to when it happens and we won't rush in judging things,'' Fadlallah went on to say.

''We know how to protect our country, face the challenges and overcome difficulties, no matter what they are. We passed through harder and more bitter experiences in our history and we overcame them,'' the politician reassured.
