Hezbollah reiterates the priority of the Palestinian cause

Afif called the Palestinian cause as the most comprehensive and the first Arab cause, adding that Hezbollah is close to Palestine.  

Asked if only Saudi Arabia and the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf are Arab, he said: "Aren't Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Algeria and our brothers in the Morocco Arab? Why only Saudi Arabia and the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf causing problem?"

The Hezbollah official stressed the need to maintain Lebanon's relations with Arab countries, saying "Relations with these countries are in Lebanon's interest, and the brother country, Syria, is also Lebanon's natural gateway to the Arab world."
