Sheikh Qassem Urges Arab and Muslim States: End Normalization, Unite for Gaza
Hezbollah Leader Urges Arab and Islamic Nations to Abandon Normalization and Unite Against Zionist Aggression
Palestine, PUREWILAYAH.COM - Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem strongly condemned the ongoing aggression against the oppressed Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, describing it as a brutal campaign of genocide, starvation, and murder supported by the United States and carried out by the Israeli regime.
Sheikh Qassem emphasized that the level of cruelty and inhumanity displayed by the aggressors has surpassed all human and moral standards, and that the silence of the world community in the face of this catastrophe constitutes a condemnation of international law and the failure of world leaders.
Condemnations Are Not Enough—Action Is Needed
In his statement issued on Tuesday, Sheikh Qassem criticized the international community’s shallow responses:
“It is not enough for twenty-five countries to call for an end to the war against Gaza. This does not excuse their testimony to what is happening, nor does it excuse the support provided by some major powers since the beginning of the aggression.”
He called on world governments to move beyond mere statements and take tangible action—including the imposition of sanctions, international prosecution of Israeli officials, and a complete severance of diplomatic and economic relations with the Israeli entity.
Arab and Islamic World Must Take the Lead
Sheikh Qassem placed particular emphasis on the responsibility of the Arab and Islamic world, stating:
“The greatest responsibility falls on the shoulders of Arab and Islamic countries, rulers and peoples. Choose the positions you want, within the limits that suit you, but do not stand idly by.”
He urged Muslim nations to stop normalization, shut down Israeli embassies, cut off trade, and provide unified support for Gaza, even if only through the most basic means of survival.
Unity Can Force America to Retreat
Sheikh Qassem made it clear that unity among Arab and Islamic nations is key to resisting American and Israeli aggression:
“When America sees you as one hand and one voice with the Palestinian people, it will submit and retreat.”
He warned that history will not forgive the cowardice of those who remained silent, calling the current moment an era marked by shameful complicity in starvation and mass murder.
The Downfall of the Oppressors is Near
In a powerful conclusion, Sheikh Qassem reminded the world of divine justice:
“Know that the wrongdoers will not succeed, and that Israel’s exaggerated brutality and arrogance will be the cause of its horrific downfall, God willing.”
He reaffirmed the inevitability of justice and resistance prevailing over tyranny, and called upon all free people to stand on the side of the oppressed and against injustice. (PW)
