Now the fear is that the war will spread. Hassan Nasrallah , leader of Hezbollah , will in fact deliver a speech next Friday 3 November during a commemoration ceremony “in honor of the martyrs who fell in defense of Gaza “. The Lebanese TV controlled by the Shiite Al Manar movement announced it, adding that the speech is scheduled for 3pm Beirut time. This is what we read in the Lebanese newspaper L’Orient-le Jour. What should he say? Could this be a call to arms to join Hamas’ fight alongside Iran?
This is the first time that Nasrallah will speak since the Palestinian allies of Hamas launched the attack on Israel on October 7, provoking the harsh reaction against Gaza. Since the beginning of the conflict, clashes have also occurred on Israel’s border with Lebanon, between the Israeli army and the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militias.
Three days ago, on October 27, a senior Hamas official asked Hezbollah and other allies to play a more important role in the conflict between Israel and the Islamist movement. Ghazi Hamad said in an interview with the Associated Press that “we appreciate that Hezbollah is working against the occupation, but we need more to stop the aggression in Gaza. We expect more.”
On Wednesday, Nasrallah met with senior officials from Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Lebanese group said. Hezbollah’s press office also released a handwritten letter from Nasrallah – his first statement since the start of the war – praising those who died fighting Israel. Hamad told the AP that initial international condemnation of the Oct. 7 attack that killed Israeli civilians in response gave Israel “license to kill” civilians in Gaza
