Beirut-Sana
Hezbollah's media relations official, Muhammad Afif, reiterated that Palestine represents the first and universal Arab cause, pointing out that Syria is Lebanon's natural gateway to the Arab world.
Afif said in a speech during a ceremony honoring Hezbollah's media department for the correspondents of the visual, audio and written media, "The true Arabism is measured by Palestine, the Palestinian people and their resistance, the martyrs, the wounded, and the prisoners of the Palestinians, and Hezbollah always stands by the Palestinian cause."
Afif stressed the need to maintain relations with brotherly Arab countries because it is in Lebanon's interest, stressing that sister Syria is Lebanon's natural gateway to the Arab world.
