Local Editor

Ali Baraka, Hamas representative in Lebanon, accentuated that, "Gaza triumphs owing to the resistance, Palestinians perseverance, and Arabs' support."
During a solidarity meet on Gaza held by the Beirut conference follow-up committee in Tawfic Tabara Center, Baraka called on everyone to "seize this victory", and refused "momentary" Palestinian unity.

He further indicated that, "we were able to enforce our terms on "Israel" in one week of Jihad, while 20 years of negotiations reaped no gain," underscoring that, "all Palestinian platoons must sit on one table to put a sole strategy on confronting the "Israeli" conflict."

Moreover, Baraka added that, "Netanyahu assumed Gaza was the weakest link and attempted to achieve goals for the Knesset Elections, yet the surprise was shocking when the first missile hit Tel Aviv."
For his part, Head of the Lebanese Popular Conference Kamal Chatila stressed that, "Egypt's mediation in the "Israeli"-Gazan war is a follow-up of Hosni Mubarak's regime," while he called Cairo on "taking a side in the Arab-"Israeli" conflict, not brokering."

In this context, Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) representative Fathi Abu al-Ardat saw that the Palestinian unity was strong in the unified command room against "Israel".

Hizbullah representative Ali Daher praised "the legendary Palestinian perseverance," and stressed that the reasons behind such persistence are the people's choice of resistance, the formation of this resistance, and the fear factor it imposed on "Israel".

He further accentuated that, "It is loyal to thank Iran, Syria, and all the Arab people who believed in the Palestinian cause and resistance."
On another note, Daher mentioned that, "Arab officials' statements contributed in the Palestinian bloodbath when they accused us of vulnerability, granting the Zionists a ‘carte blanche' to commit more massacres."

Moreover, Popular Front General Command representative in Lebanon Abu Imad Ramez reiterated "there are Islamic and Arab countries had a part in Palestine's endurance, and if weren't for this support, we would not have triumphed."
Additionally, Ramez slammed the media that "tried to conceal the support of Iran, Syria, and the resistance who stood by Palestine."
