“The new Resistance Middle East will not have room for the American policy and the followers of America in the region,” he added.

On the war in Syria and Hizbullah's participation in the conflict, Safieddine said: “We are still at the heart of the battle in Syria. We have not and will not back down. The Resistance is stronger at this stage at the level of numbers, weapons, capabilities and the political and non-political representation, not only in Lebanon but in the whole region.”
