Israeli defeat, turning point for resistance

SDPN Secretary General described Israeli defeat in 33-day war as turning point for resistance

Secretary General of Iran-based Society in Defense of Palestinian Nation (SDPN) described the Israeli regime's defeat in 33-day war with Lebanon resistance movement, Hezbollah as a turning point in the history of the 60-year resistance against the occupation.

On the Second anniversary of the Second Lebanon War, Dr Mojtaba Rahmandoost told Qodsna that after the 33-day war, all regional equations changed.

Pointing to the current crisis in the Israeli society, Rahmandoost believed that such a crisis was due to the victories of Hezbollah.

Rahmandoost said the reports of the Winograd committee (committee to investigate the cause of Israeli defeat in 33-day war), the mass resignation of the Israeli military authorities and the criminal case of the Israeli premier proves what a large role the Hezbollah victories had played in the Israeli crisis.

The 33-day war was a big defeat for Israel and the regime couldn't achieve any of its goals, Rahmandoost said.

"Contrarily, Hezbollah achieved all its goals and the trend of resistance's victories including freedom of oldest Lebanese captive, Smair Qantar continued," the Secretary General said.

Responding to Qodsna question about the stances of Arab's governments towards Hezbollah victory, Rahmandoost expressed regret, saying "if one has no proof to say the hands of Arab and Israeli authorities are in the same pocket, he can say their hands are put in a third pocket which is joint work against resistance."

"As of the beginning, the Arab governments were not seeking to confront the Israeli regime but their nations were seeking to find a successful way to confront with the occupation," he added.

He expressed hope that Arab nations would pose pressures their governments and make them follow their interests.

Dr Rahmandoost predicts a dark future for the Israeli regime, adding that the trend of resistance' victories would continue.
