Palestinian writer and thinker, Munir Shafiq, said that the region has entered a new phase whose main feature is the transfer of the weight of the war from the Gaza Strip to southern Lebanon, stressing that assassinations do not change the balance of power.
The Israeli occupation army confirmed the assassination of the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, in the raids that targeted, yesterday evening, Friday, the headquarters of the party’s central command in the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital, Beirut. Hezbollah later confirmed the news.
Shafiq said – in an interview with Tel Aviv Tribune – that assassinations do not break or win wars, nor do they affect or change the balance of power, and their danger lies in the fact that their impact is individual, moral and psychological.
He described the assassinations carried out by the Israeli occupation against the Lebanese and Palestinian leaders as despicable and despicable operations, and the war will not win him, but rather the justice of the cause will win him, and there is historical evidence of that.
He stated that most of the leaders of the National Liberation Movement (Fatah) were assassinated by the occupation, but their case was not over.
The battle of the Israeli occupation, in Shafiq’s view, is with the peoples who embrace the resistance and who were able to confront the Israeli occupation army in Gaza and fight it daily.
He considered that Israel is in a state of loss and weakness, despite its aggression and assassinations. The world noticed what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu looked like in his speech before the United Nations General Assembly, which witnessed a large withdrawal of participants.
He believed that everything the occupation is doing at the present time will be condemned and a loss for it in the next stage, because no one will surrender or raise the flag. He said that the resistance and the Palestinian cause at this stage are better than any previous stage in terms of its strength and ability.
He expected Netanyahu to fall and fail, because “fools and those who violate the balance of power and facts do not win.”
On the other hand, the Palestinian thinker expected that the resistance would triumph in the Gaza Strip and in Lebanon, and had won the political and moral battle and global public opinion, while the occupation, which faces international opposition because of the massacres it committed against children and women, lost.
He expressed his confidence that the historical stage in which the Israeli army was resolving battles had ended, as long as it was unable to resolve the battle in Gaza and Lebanon.
On the other hand, in his interview with Tel Aviv Tribune, the Palestinian thinker touched on the issue of Arab countries normalizing relations with the Israeli occupation, and said, “Normalization dealt a huge blow.”
