Nasrallah also expressed Hezbollah’s support for Hamas’ “rightful demands to end the current battle.”
The statement said Mashaal’s remarks were reassuring that the Palestinian resistance “will remain steadfast and make a second victory in July, God willing.”
Nasrallah warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Palestinian resistance was stronger than he thinks.
