Hezbollah, beheaded

Iranas a center and precursor of what is known as the Resistance Axisis the maximum supporter of the Lebanese militia Hezbollah -the great objective of Israel in its offensive against Lebanon- and the Palestinian group of Hamaswhich governs the Gaza Strip. Both militias have lost almost all of their senior officials and leaders due to Israeli bombings.

In these attacks, however, Israel has also caused the death of tens of thousands of civilians and has also devastated almost the entire population. civil infrastructure of the Gaza Strip.

“Israel’s warmongering and crimes in Lebanon and Gaza, carried out with the support of the United States and some European countries, have resulted in the death of 60,000 innocent peoplethe forced displacement of 3.5 million of people. In all this time, however, we have been able to see how the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance groups are more determined than ever to defend the rights of their people,” said Baqaeí, who has asked the international community to act against Netanyahu: “I want to remember the arrest warrant International Criminal Court (CPI) against the leaders of the Zionist regime for their war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. The world waits persecution and punishment of the criminals of the occupying regime,” Baqaeí continued.

“The Iranian threat”

In his announcement this Tuesday night of the ceasefire in Lebanon, the Israeli Prime Minister explained that there are three reasons why the Jewish State now accepts a cessation of hostilities in Lebanon – the war in Gaza continues. -. Two of them were “giving the soldiers a rest and isolating Hamas.” The first of all the reasons that Netanyahu listed, however, was “to be able to focus from now on the Iranian threat”. For the past year, sporadically, Iran and Israel have been launching attacks, counterattacks and responses studied to which, for the moment, there is no end in sight.

The last of these attacks occurred last October 26when Israel bombed three Iranian military bases in Persian territory. As Netanyahu later claimed, those bases housed parts of “Iran’s secret nuclear program.” Tehran, which has not yet responded to that attack, assures that there will be “a punishment.”

Thus, with the arrival of Donald Trump to the White House In January, the tension between Tehran y Tel Aviv —and in everything Near East— only increase. “The arrest warrant [de la TPI] It’s not enough. Netanyahu and the other criminal leaders of his regime they deserve to be sentenced to death”, assured last week the Iranian supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
