Regional politicians, others react to ******** of Hezbollah’s Nasrallah

(Reuters) – Following are reactions by regional politicians and others to the ******** of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in an ******** airstrike in Beirut on Friday:

IRAN’S FOREIGN MINISTRY

The ministry said in a statement that Nasrallah’s “path will continue and his goal will be realised in Jerusalem’s liberation”.

YEMEN’S IRAN-ALIGNED HOUTHIS

The group said it mourned the ******** of Nasrallah, adding: “The martyrdom … will increase the strength of sacrifice … determination and continuity.”

MOHAMMED SHIA AL-SUDANI, IRAQ’S PRIME MINISTER

He said the ******** of Nasrallah showed “the reckless ******* to expand the conflict at the expense of all the peoples of the region and their security and stability”.

HERZI HALEVI, *******’S CHIEF OF THE GENERAL STAFF

“Nasrallah indiscriminately murdered ******** civilians and aimed to end this war with the destruction of the State of *******. We made sure that did not occur. We eliminated him, and we will continue to grow stronger. Hezbollah has murdered innocent people worldwide, hiding his weapons under the homes of families, women and children and turning them into human shields. As we have shown, we will not allow such a threat to our citizens. We are determined to continue destroying the Hezbollah ********** organization and to keep fighting.”

MOQTADA EL SADR, IRAQI SHI’ITE ******* POLITICIAN

He said he mourned Nasrallah as “his companion in resistance”.

GEBRAN BASSIL, LEADING LEBANESE ********** POLITICIAN

He said he mourned the ****** of Nasrallah as a major loss and said it was a hard time for all Lebanese, adding: “In the face of the ******** ******, we have no choice but to be together as Lebanese.”

MICHEL AOUN, FORMER LEBANESE PRESIDENT

In a statement mourning Nasrallah, he referred to “the dangers our country is witnessing as a result of the ongoing ******** aggression which requires rising to the highest level of national solidarity that protects and fortifies our unity because that is the true salvation”.

SAAD AL-HARIRI, FORMER LEBANESE PRIME MINISTER

“The ************** of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has plunged Lebanon and the region into a new phase of *********. It is a cowardly act condemned in its entirety by us, who paid dearly for the lives of our loved ones when ************** became an alternative to politics. May **** have mercy on Sayyed Hassan and my sincere condolences to his family and comrades. We often disagreed with the deceased and his party and met a few times, but Lebanon was everyone’s tent. In this extremely difficult phase, our unity and solidarity remain the foundation.”

TURKISH PRESIDENT TAYYIP ERDOGAN

In a post on X after the ******** of Nasrallah but which did not name him, Erdogan said he condemned recent attacks in Lebanon as part of what he called an ******** policy of “genocide, occupation, and invasion” and said the ******* world should show a more “determined” stance.
