“Trump’s move is an insult to billions of Muslims and Christians the world over,” the Hezbollah leader claimed. “In the last decade we saw opinions that indicated that Israel’s importance to the United States had receded – this has been shown to be nonsense,” Nasrallah said, according to Daoud’s tweets.Instead of violence outside of the West Bank, Nasrallah initially urged protests and social media responses in the region, including “millions of tweets.” Realizing that his message primarily influences those countries and groups allied with Iran, Nasrallah claimed it was unrealistic to suppose that most countries would break relations with the US over Jerusalem. But he urged states to summon US ambassadors and express their concern.48-Nasrallah: We also support the call of Palestinian leaders issued yesterday for a new Palestinian Intifada, and escalating "resistance" activity. This is the most important, dangerous response to the American decision.

The only practical response Hezbollah could come up with is to take a “harder line” on those Lebanese who might visit Israel or talk to Israelis, specifically in the entertainment industry. Lebanon was recently rocked by accusations that a comedian named Ziad Itani was spying for Israel.Nasrallah also called on the region to support the call of Palestinians for a new intifada. “If the Palestinians undertake an intifada, the Arab and Muslim world must support it – morally, financially and by arming it with weapons.”Toward that end he called for an end to the conflict in Syria and Yemen, where Hezbollah has supported the Syrian regime and the Houthi rebels, respectively. For those who seek to protest, Hezbollah called out its supporters for a rally on Monday in Dahiyeh, the Shi’ite group’s stronghold in Beirut.49-Nasrallah: And if Palestinians undertake Intifada, Arab and Islamic world must support it - morally, financially, and by arming it with weapons.
