Military analyst Elijah Magnier says that following the assassination of top Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in 2020, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah “became the non-declared leader of the Axis of Resistance”. The term refers to Iran-aligned armed groups in the Middle East, including in Yemen, Syria and Iraq. “He acquired a large knowledge of the capability of all the members but also knew how to deal with the Iranians and how to be an organic part of Iran,” Magnier noted. “But at the same time, allow the interests of Lebanon to prevail over any other interests – keeping in mind his focus was on Palestine and fighting the United States hegemony in the Middle East. “For that, he gained a lot of popularity and it is going to be extremely hard for the people of Lebanon who believe in the resistance to accept this assassination and the news of his death, because there is no other leader of the same charisma – not the leadership but the charisma – that Nasrallah enjoyed in Lebanon and throughout the Middle East among those who supported the resistance.” Subscribe to our channel: Follow us on Twitter: Find us on Facebook: Check our website: Check out our Instagram page: Download AJE Mobile App: #IsraelStrikes #LebanonConflict #Hezbollah #LebaneseDisplacement #LebanonCrisis #LebanonHealthMinistry #SouthernLebanon #LebanonBombing #LebanonWar #IsraeliAirstrikes #LebanonHumanitarianCrisis #LebanonCeasefireCalls
