Vice President of the Executive Council of Hezbollah Sheikh Ali Damoush, who convened the meeting, said in an address that with any confrontation between the resistance front and the Zionist regime, the weakness of the occupation regime becomes more obvious.

Underlining the growing unity among resistance groups, he stressed that Israel knows well that it is facing an unprecedented real threat.
Sheikh Damoush also highlighted the recent developments in the region, including the thaw in Iran-Saudi relations and the efforts for Syria’s return to the Arab League all point to the weakening position of the Israeli regime.
