(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Speaking Friday evening at a ceremony held in Beirut to pay tribute to the martyred commanders, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah added that Israeli thoughts are behind many of the world incidents including desecration of the Quran in the US or Afghanistan.
He said when the Afghan people protest against Quran burning they are fired upon and that it is an Israeli trend to attack people and desecrate the prophets.
He stressed that the occupying regime of Israel continues to attack Islamic sanctities and Arab nations. "Today, the Zionist regime is going on with occupation of Palestinian lands, and killing and detaining its people.”
Referring to the recent bombings in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, Nasrallah said Israel was behind the blast. "So far hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been killed in such explosions or by occupying US forces. Since the start of the occupation of Iraq by Americans, we have said that Israel seeks to destroy Iraq because given the opportunity, a powerful government will be established in Iraq…The Israelis do not want Iraq to blossom… they want countries situated in the east of occupied Palestine to be ruined and unstable.”
Pointing to Takfiri (those accusing others of apostasy) groups that are affiliated to US and Israeli intelligence services, he said these groups have widely spread in the region and stressed the need for the countries of the region to exercise vigilance in the face of Israeli threats.
On the situation in Syria, he emphasized that the problems should be solved through political approaches. "There have been efforts in Syria to resolve the issues but there are some who are against a political solution.”
He added that the US and NATO that are unable to send in forces have resorted to provocation and sending arms to the country.
Elsewhere in his remarks, secretary general of Hezbollah touched on the situation in the Saudi cities of Al-Awamiya and Qatif where security forces have heavily cracked down on popular uprisings and said people in these cities are only pursuing their rights.
He also warned that the US-Israeli plot in the region is to instigate sectarian and ethnic clashes.
