Atwan: The unique funeral ceremony of the body of martyr Nasrallah showed the power of Hezbollah.
“Abdul Bari Atwan,” editor-in-chief of the trans-regional newspaper Rai al-Youm and a well-known Palestinian analyst, addressed the magnificent and historic funeral ceremony of the martyrs Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyid Hashem Safi al-Din in a new editorial of the newspaper and announced: This human storm of millions in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, at the funeral ceremony of the martyrs Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah and his successor and constant companion Sayyid Hashem Safi al-Din, is a crushing response to all Arab or Israeli voices that said that the Islamic resistance in Lebanon led by Hezbollah has ended and will not return.
Abdul Bari Atwan continued: This huge crowd that filled the Kamil Shamoon Sports Complex in Beirut with hundreds of thousands of people who came from different parts of Lebanon and the Arab-Islamic world is reminiscent of the unprecedented presence of people at the funeral ceremony of Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt. Martyr Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah left behind a political and military legacy and many field achievements that cannot be counted; Especially at the level of Hezbollah leadership and command in the battle to liberate southern Lebanon from the Zionist occupation in 2000 and force the regime to make a humiliating retreat from the country. Also, the defeat of the Zionist regime’s army in the July 2006 war, which crushed the legend of the Merkava tank and the invincible Israeli army, is among the other achievements of martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
The article continues by stating that the legendary funeral ceremony of the great men of Hezbollah was a confirmation of the revival of the power of this movement and the reconstruction of its ranks for a strong return to the political and military scene in Lebanon and the entire Arab region. Also, when the flags of Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Yemen, Algeria, and Iran are raised alongside the yellow flags of Hezbollah and the images of the leader of the resistance martyrs and his companions in Beirut, it is a confirmation of the strength of the fronts supporting Gaza, the unity of the arms of the resistance axis and the readiness for a great victory, God willing.
The Palestinian analyst noted: that Palestine, where Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was martyred in the path of its liberation and its sanctities, rejected all temptations and conspiracies and stood against all American-Israeli and Arab pressures that wanted to sever ties between the resistance fronts, is still present in the field, representing the honorable resistance groups of the Palestinian nation and all the children of the Islamic resistance and the children of the honorable Lebanese nation.
Abdul Bari Atwan said: Unfortunately, the absence of the heads of Arab governments at the legendary funeral of the great resistance leaders and the inattention of many of their media networks and equipment to this ceremony for fear of angering their masters in Washington and Tel Aviv is an issue that reveals the truth about the Arab rulers and their conspiracies and shows that they lack the values ​​of resistance, dignity and support of the Islamic nation and have no zeal. Of course, it is not surprising, and how can one expect respect for the martyrs of the resistance from those who stood in the stands of spectators during the Gaza war 500 days ago and did not even send a shroud to the people of Gaza?!
This note emphasizes that the Lebanese Islamic Resistance is returning with strength and is returning to the field stronger than before. What confirms the truth of our statements are two main points in the speech of Sheikh Naim Qassem, the comrade-in-arms of martyr Nasrallah and the current Secretary General of the Hezbollah movement, who first said to the Americans: Hezbollah will never accept that you take control of Lebanon through your policies, and you will never be able to achieve what you did not achieve in the war through military pressure. The second and more important point is that Sheikh Naim Qassem said: The resistance is not over and is ready to continue the confrontation with the Zionist enemy.
Atwan stated: Sheikh Naim Qassem also stressed that Palestine remains the compass of the resistance and that resistance will stand against the conspiratorial project of US President Donald Trump to displace the Palestinians, and that 160,000 martyrs and wounded in Gaza are the real price for continuing this covenant of resistance. Sheikh Naim Qassem’s speech was very strong and eloquent and had a different tone from all his previous speeches.
At the end of this article, it is stated: Sheikh Naim Qassem’s decisive speech confirms that the process of organizing the structure of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon and deeply improving and filling the gaps in the ranks of its forces and leaders has been completed, and young forces are now standing behind the line and listening to the command of its leadership.
