Press TV - A senior official of Lebanons resistance movement Hezbollah says Jerusalem al-Quds will always remain an integral partofPalestine despite US and Israeli attempts to distort this reality.
Addressing an annual international conference on Islamic unity in the Iranian capital Tehran, Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said on Saturdaythat Palestinianswould refuse to give up even aninch of their land.
He went on to say that al-Quds was the pivotal issue of the Muslim world and wouldremainthe eternal andindivisible capital of Palestine.
One cannot break up the territories of a nation, he said.
Qassem stressed thatHezbollah had managed to defeat the Israeli regime in the direct wars and confrontations by focusing on the issue of Palestine over the past years.
The Hezbollah officialnoted that Israeli entity was created in the heart of the Middle Eastregion in order to further colonial agenda and block the progress of regional Muslim countries.
"Israel occupied Palestinian territoriesin order to block the development of the region, he noted.
Describing Israel as "the axis of evil,"Qassem said that the Israeli regime's goal was to divide the region, and to cause rifts between Muslim nations.
In an earlier address on November 17, Qassem described Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu, US PresidentDonald Trumpand Saudi Crown PrinceMohammed bin Salmanas 'the triangle of evil, stating that that they had become united in order to advance their vicious agenda against Palestinian people.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Qassem pointed out that American imperialism was the main source of suppression and crimes in the world.
Also at the Tehran conference on Saturday,the leader of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement, Ismail Haniyeh,strongly warnedthe Arab world against restoring ties with Israel, saying all efforts hadto be directed at preventing the occupying regime from infiltrating the Muslim world.
Saudi Arabia has hostile ties with resistance movements in the Palestinian territories, including Hamas which is fighting the Israeli occupation.
Last year, US President Donald Trump officially declared the disputed city of Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's capital, despite warnings from around the world that the measure risks triggering a fresh wave of violence in the Middle East.
LastDecember, the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution that calls on the US to withdraw its controversial policy shift.
In defiance of the vote, the US also transferred its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds on May 14, triggering demonstrations in the occupied Palestinian territories, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, Algeria, Iraq, Morocco and other Muslim countries.
Angered by Trumps move, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas boycotted his administration, saying Washington was no longer qualified to serve as the sole mediator in the decades-long conflict with Israel.
Palestinians wantthe West Bank as part of a future independent Palestinianstatewith East Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital.
