Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah calls to drag out the war between Israel and Hamas for as long as possible.

“Pressure needs to be expanded,” he says. “Time is necessary for the movements of the ‘resistance.'”

He says the Israeli economy has suffered “tens of billions of dollars of losses” since the October 7 Hamas onslaught “in spite of the 14 billion of dollars of military aid provided by the US,” referring to American military assistance for Israel that has yet to be approved.
