Trump, White House isolated over al-Quds decision - Nasrallah

The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement says the recent decision by US President Donald Trump to formally recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as the capital of Israel has made the United States and White House isolated in the world.

Addressing the nation from Dahieh neighborhood of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Monday, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah pointed to massive rallies held to oppose Trump’s decision, thanking all those who took part in them to show their loyalty to the resistance.

All positions taken on Trump’s al-Quds decision were negative. We appreciate all those countries, nations and freedom seekers, who opposed Trump’s announcement of Jerusalem al-Quds as the capital of Israel.

Trump believed that after announcement of his decision on Jerusalem al-Quds, the entire world would stand in line to follow suit, but all reactions from across the world, including European, Asian and American countries were the opposite of what he expected.

As a result of these reactions, Nasrallah said, Trump and White House have become more isolated among world nations.

He pointed to massive protest rallies held in all countries across the world, including in Lebanon's capital, Beirut, the Hezbollah leader thanked all participants, inviting them to continue their protests in all manners possible, including through the cyberspace and on social media.
