Saudi Seeks Ripping Apart Syria for Israeli Interests: Hezbollah Leader

“The goal was for Syria to fall and be fragmented and be ripped apart” in line with Israel’s interests, the Hezbollah's leader, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Tuesday.
 
Speaking to the mourning ceremonies of Muharram he added the “real goal” of the countries that have neither democracy nor elections was not democracy or elections in Syria.
 
The Hezbollah leader whose forces are supporting the Syrian army in their war against terrorist groups, said terrorist groups like Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, formerly known as al-Nusra Front “are being used to serve and achieve US and Israeli goals.”
 
Sayyed Nasrallah also elaborated on the latest US plot to further destabilize Syria by saying the US seeks to concentrate ISIS terrorists in eastern Syria, adding that Washington is allowing and "opening the roads for" ISIS to flee from Iraq into Syria.
 
The Hezbollah leader said, "All those who are defending Syria defend the Resistance and look forward to a political solution and not to more bloodshed," but” The US, Saudi Arabia and some regional states are demanding crippling conditions to neutralize the political solutions."
 
Pointing to a recent abortive truce deal between the US and Russia on Syria, the Hezbollah chief said Washington withdrew from the agreement because it called for the separation of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham from other militant groups and the identification and targeting of ISIS and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham positions.
 
He expressed regret that "more escalation and tensions" is on the horizon in Syria, but called for "perseverance and firm stance" in order to counter the plots of the country's enemies.
 
In another part of his speech, Nasrallah pointed to the recent bloody air raid by Saudi Arabia on a funeral hall in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a and said the strike was a major scandal for Al Saud regime.
 
Hezbollah leader said some media circles had noted that his remarks on Saudi attack in Sanaa would affect chances of Michel Aoun becoming Lebanon’s next president, which could end a political crisis in the country.
 
Noting that the demand was tantamount to political blackmail, Nasrallah added, “Even [UN Secretary General] Ban Ki-moon has condemned this strike, although he has always been silent, so how do you want me to remain silent?”
 
He emphasized that the Sanaa massacre must provide a motive for ending the war in Yemen and added that the Saudi regime has no option but to accept the political solution.
 
“Saudi Arabia's insistence on carrying on with the war will not only make it lose Yemen, but will also make it lose itself. The current Saudi leadership is pushing the kingdom to the brink of the abyss,” Nasrallah pointed out, recommending the Saudi rulers to come to their senses.
