Hizbullah Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah called on Saudi Arabia to end its aggression on Yemen as well as to facilitate the political dialogue that is to take place in Switzerland’s Geneva, as he said in a televised speech on Sunday. 

As he hailed the "army-people-resistance" equation, he underlined that it is now being implemented in Yemen in addition to Syria and Iraq.

On the topic of the Takfiri threat, Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized that, "History is repeating itself and the scheme that is threatening the region is this brutal takfiri scheme that we are witnessing now". 

On this level, he warned that, "The biggest manifestation of this scheme is "Daesh" ["ISIL"], as we are before a scheme that is moving on the ground -- it is killing, abducting, slaughtering and destroying."

""Daesh" is the headline of this period and it is not a small group. It is present in Syria and Iraq, in Sinai on Palestine’s border, and in Yemen, Afghanistan, "Pakistan, Libya, North Africa and Nigeria, and it has recently showed its presence on the ground in Saudi Arabia’s Qatif," he cautioned.

Sayyed Nasrallah’s speech came on the 15th anniversary of the Liberation and Resistance Day, marking the humiliating defeat of the "Israeli" enemy.
