In a speech for Ramadan, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah claims that Israel will lose the war in Gaza even if it enters Rafah.
“Even if you go to Rafah, you have lost the war,” Nasrallah says in comments aimed at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Lebanese news site Naharnet.
The Hezbollah leader says that “despite all the massacres, Gaza’s people will not surrender to you,” adding that “the people of Gaza are still embracing the resistance.”
“Who are you negotiating with if Hamas has been defeated?” Nasrallah says.
According to the Al Manar news site, Nasrallah refers to the internal Israeli debate over the ultra-Orthodox serving in the IDF, saying that the “political crisis with the Haredim” will lead to the collapse of the state. He also points to comments by Opposition Leader Yair Lapid saying that the IDF does not have enough manpower to wage a war on the northern front.
