BEIRUT: Hezbollah Secretary-General Hasan Nasrallah has declared Hezbollah's unwavering support for the Yemeni people in a broadcasted speech Friday in Beirut's southern suburbs.
“Hezbollah will maintain its support for the Yemeni people regardless of the repercussions,” Nasrallah said. “It is our moral, humanitarian, jihadi and religious duty to take this stand.”
Nasrallah dismissed labels of the Yemeni intervention as an “Arab War,” saying that critics of the intervention, like Hezbollah, were Arab as well. The people being targeted by the intervention are Arab also, he added.
“Those who agress on the Yemeni people must seek certificates on Islamism and Arabism,” he said, in clear allusion to Saudi Arabia.
He also dismissed claims that Yemeni war falls in the context of a Sunni-Shiite conflict.
