70-Nasrallah: So is US problem in Lebanon really corruption? Living conditions? Lebanese elections and democracy? These are all decades old. Real American problem in Lebanon, because US priority is Israel, is the Resistance
71-Nasrallah: Their problem w/Hezbollah isn't Iranian influence, or if Hezbollah becomes a political party, even if we declare total loyalty to Iran. Their problem is the Resistance, which is Lebanon's source of strength.

72-Nasrallah: When Lebanon negotiates border demarcation now, it can't be pushed around by Israel.

73-Nasrallah: So all the US has been doing, at least since 2005, is how to get rid of Hezbollah. They even tried this via Syria, through pre-2005, 2005, and post-2005 negotiations w/Bashar al-Assad.

74-Nasrallah: Two high-ranking Arab officials - who i won't name - came to Assad in pre-2005 carrying a US offer that Assad could take Lebanon completely, but on condition of disarming Hezbollah

75-Nasrallah: After 2005, US tried to instigate civil war in Lebanon to weaken Hezbollah. This conspiracy was foiled by the Four Part Alliance
76-Nasrallah: This was repeated in 2008 in Lebanon, and then in 2011 w/what was called the Arab Spring. All the factions in Syria were claiming that when they were done in Syria, their next battle would be in Lebanon.

77-Nasrallah: All their attempts failed, particularly in Syria where if they changed the regime, the new rulers would have run to normalize w/Israel even more quickly than the UAE and Bahrain.

78-Nasrallah: So the goal of the US in Lebanon is to turn the Lebanese, particularly the Shiites, against Hezbollah. Particularly the Shiites, because they are the source of Hezbollah's strength. How would they do this? By exacerbating the financial crisis in the country

79-Nasrallah: All economic hardships in Lebanon are result of US policy, including playing around w/dollars. They wanted to bring the lebanese to a point where US would say, "you want us to help you? Get rid of Hezbollah." Other part was to blame Hezbollah for financial crisis
80-Nasrallah: All economic hardships in Lebanon are result of US policy, including playing around w/dollars. They wanted to bring the lebanese to a point where US would say, "you want us to help you? Get rid of Hezbollah." Other part was to blame Hezbollah for financial crisis

81-Nasrallah: This failed. Shiite base didn't turn on Hezbollah. Some people did, bust most didn't. Even overall Lebanese population didn't go along w/attempts to make uprising about Hezbollah, despite billions they spent.

82-Nasrallah: Davile Hale says they gave billions of dollars to NGOs, which we can't trace, media, different figures, etc. I respect anyone who says they are backing the "revolution" by making sandwiches. They're honest.

83-Nasrallah: But isn't it right of revolutionaries to know what this money was for? Don't revolutionaries want to know who is leading them, what their interests are, and where they're trying to take them?

84-Nasrallah: We know about the role of the US embassy in all of this. And it failed.

85-Nasrallah: They tried to make this about corruption, but no one could point the finger at Hezbollah and say we're corrupt.

86-Nasrallah: So what's left for US is sanctions. We in Hezbollah are personally used to this.
87-Nasrallah: Goal is to apply psychological pressure, incite the base, and to recruit agents.

88-Nasrallah: Let them sanction us, it won't matter to us. We don't have money in the banks, we don't travel abroad much. We're doing fine, we believe in what we're fighting for and we're willing to sacrifice for it. So these sanctions won't matter. Same w/Iran, Syria

89-Nasrallah: Not to say there is no impact, but we'll remain steadfast and continue
90-Nasrallah: And good usually comes out of these bad actions. Like when we were expelled from Lebanese financial institutions as result of US sanctions, now our money is not tied up in Lebanese banks unlike others.

91-Nasrallah: I'm not gloating over misfortune of other Lebanese

92-Nasrallah: So now they've gone to sanctioning our allies. There were those who told the Americans that while Marada, AMAL wouldn't break their alliance w/Hezbollah, FPM may do so because of its special circumstances

93-Nasrallah: So that brings us to sanctioning Gebran Bassil, which is a huge move, because Bassil is head of FPM, not just a minister. And they came and spoke to Bassil and Aoun

94-Nasrallah: Bassil came and spoke to me, and told me US had been speaking to him for a while, and the threat was obvious: I was expected to give press conference declaring end of Hezbollah/FPM alliance and relationship. They gave him time period, or would sanction him.

95-Nasrallah: Bassil told me they gave him these two choices, and he came to inform me, and that he couldn't comply w/the US demand, because it would compromise Lebanese independence and freedom. But he just wanted to inform me.

96-Nasrallah: I responded our relationship w/FPM was beyond politics and was nor friendship. I advised him to take any position to avoid being harmed, and whatever Hezbollah could do to help, we would help. Bassil said he didn't need our help, but wanted to keep us in the picture

97-Nasrallah: I tell all of our allies in Lebanon -- if US pressures you, you are free to do what you wish. Review your conscience, interests, Lebanon's interests, and act accordingly and we'll understand

98-Nasrallah: At the root of the matter, what legal or moral right does the US gov't have to designate anyone -- when we're talking about a gov't that supports, arms terrorists itself and protects the most despotic dictatorships

99-Nasrallah: So I don't care about US proofs. They have no right to designate anyone for corruption or terrorism. They are the fount of terrorism and corruption on earth
100-Nasrallah: If US designates one of our opponents in Lebanon as terrorist or corrupt, I reject this. US admin has no right to do this, it's Lebanese state and judiciary's role alone, if we really care about sovereignty

101-Nasrallah: So we applaud Bassil's decision, and we ask for solidarity from everyone. Everyone who cares about Lebanese sovereignty must do what Bassil did

102-Nasrallah: Between Hezbollah and FPM, we surely need to update our alliance. It's 14 yrs old, and just like any other faithful friends and allies, we have some comments that we'll deal with privately, not publicly. Of course we'll revise and update this relationship

103-Nasrallah: we will evolve the relationship between FPM and Hezbollah to benefit Lebanon
104-Nasrallah: I took more time than I have before, but it's because I delayed talking about many issues.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Something rarely known is that after Hezbullah's operation on 11-11-1982 that killed 100+ IDF soldiers, the company that helped the IDF remove that ruble was the one owned by the post civil war Prime minister Rafic Al Hariri.

"The rescue teams were aided by the Lebanese Oger Liban company, whose men and equipment made as unstinting an effort as the Israelis themselves"
🇮🇱🇱🇧 The Zionist Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

Our goal is to dismantle the civilian arm of Hezbollah, in cooperation with Arab countries.
Always remember to ignore and block this account. Aside from his fake news sometimes it is outdated. This video is 6 years old.
Israel Media: A UN force helicopter crashed in Egypt near the Israeli border: Soroka is preparing to accept five seriously injured people evacuated by the IDF.
President Aoun received the French President’s Advisor for Near Eastern Affairs, Patrick Dorrell, in the presence of French Ambassador in Beirut Anne Griot. The meeting dealt with Lebanese-French relations, the French initiative and the government file.
Information Office in the Presidency of the Republic: The task of the former advisor to the President, Antoine Haddad ended on October 9, 2020 after canceling the contract with him and preventing him from entering the Republican Palace, and therefore he no longer has any of the files that he talked about in his statements to the media, and any other files that concerns the presidency.

Note: He was the traitor that worked with the Americans to sanction Gebran Basil and was attempting to sway the border negotiations in Israel's favors.

One dead and 2 injured after an explosion in a Banana fermentation shop in Saadnayel.
The IDF Chief of Staff, LTG Aviv Kochavi, is reportedly concerned about the incoming Joe Biden administration.

They know Joe Biden won't comprise Israel's security, but their experience with Obama Admin and the bad relationship between Netanyahu and the Democrats can compromise Israel's gifts. Trump gave them everything without consideration, Biden won't.
