Al-Maliki’s Islamic Dawa Party: Tel Aviv ‘submitted’ to ceasefire agreement

BAGHDAD — Former Iraqi PM Nuri Al-Maliki’s Islamic Dawa Party commented Tuesday on the announcement of a ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel, claiming that Tel Aviv had ‘submitted’ to the deal.

Full statement from the Islamic Dawa Party:

After a fierce and heroic war, and forcing the Zionist enemy to submit to a ceasefire in Lebanon, we salute Hezbollah and its heroic fighters for their resilience in the face of the most heavily armed force, supported by the most powerful imperialist nations in the world. We affirm that what this party has achieved is a source of pride for the Islamic Ummah and all the free people of the world.

Today, a chapter of war in the Middle East has been closed, but the cause of the Palestinian people, their right to their land, and the liberation of their holy sites in Jerusalem from the usurpation of the Zionist entity, remains alive and will never die. Meanwhile, wounded Gaza continues to bleed, crying out to Arabs, Muslims, and the free people of the world to stand with it, support it, and lift the hand of criminality from the necks of its people.

This war, which has been raging for more than a year, has distinguished between two paths: the path of the Ummah and Islamic movements that bravely confronted the Zionist aggression, and another path that surrendered to the logic of the enemy. Hezbollah has fought one of the most severe and ferocious battles in the region this year, with combat continuing daily. Despite the imbalance in the power equation, it was able to challenge the enemy and inflict significant losses, offering its finest men as martyrs in these honorable battles.

On this day, we deeply miss the passionate leader, the master of the martyrs of resistance, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the martyr Sayyed Hashem Safi Al-Din, along with dozens of distinguished jihadist cadres, thousands of members, supporters, and the Lebanese people. We call upon all Muslims and Arab nations to urgently stand with Lebanon, support its reconstruction, and rebuild what the war has destroyed, as this is the least that humanity, Islam, and Arab solidarity demand.

Peace upon the master of the martyrs of resistance, the martyr Hassan Nasrallah, and his fellow martyrs. Peace upon the martyrs of Palestine.
