<h3>As a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel takes effect in Lebanon,
Hamas and other resistance movements have lauded the commitment of the
organization to the struggle for a liberated Palestine.</h3>
</blockquote>
<p>The Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas has commended “the pivotal”
role played by Hezbollah in supporting Gaza and the Palestinian
resistance, following the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and
the movement in Lebanon on Wednesday.</p>
<p>In a statement, Hamas lauded “the immense sacrifices made by
Hezbollah and its leadership, foremost among them the martyred
Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.”</p>
<p>The movement said it valued “the steadfastness of the Lebanese people
and their ongoing solidarity with the Palestinian people in facing the
zionist occupation and its brutal aggression.”</p>
<p>“The enemy’s acceptance of the agreement with Lebanon without
achieving the conditions it had set represents a significant milestone
in shattering Netanyahu’s illusions of reshaping the Middle East by
force and his delusions of defeating the forces of resistance or
disarming them,” Hamas stressed.</p>
<p>“We affirm that this agreement would not have been possible without
the steadfastness of the resistance and the popular cradle that
surrounds it,” the statement continued, adding that Hamas was “confident
in the continued support of the Axis of Resistance for our people and
their struggle through all possible means.”</p>
<p>The movement expressed its commitment to cooperating with any efforts to establish a ceasefire in Gaza.</p>
<p>“We are keen to end the aggression against our people within the
framework of the national terms agreed upon, which include a ceasefire,
the withdrawal of occupation forces, the return of displaced persons,
and the realization of a genuine and comprehensive prisoner exchange
deal,” Hamas emphasized.</p>
<h4>‘Rooted, Resilient’ – Ansarallah</h4>
<p>“We salute the great steadfastness of Hezbollah and the dear Lebanese
people in the face of the brutal Israeli aggression,” the Yemeni
Ansarallah movement’s spokesman Mohammed Abdul Salaam said in a
statement.</p>
<p>“The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has only become more rooted,
stronger, and more resilient through its great sacrifices. It has
excelled in its jihadi operations, which have escalated both in quantity
and quality, forcing the zionist enemy and its American sponsor to move
toward a ceasefire agreement that preserves the security, sovereignty,
and independence of Lebanon,” he said.</p>
<p>Ansarallah said it trusted “in the choices” of Hezbollah and “believe
that its wise leadership has managed to regain the initiative in record
time, despite the great wounds inflicted on the body of the resistance,
especially after the assassination” of Nasrallah.</p>
<p>“This resistance rose with greater ferocity and is capable of waging a
long-term war of attrition, something a weak and fragile entity cannot
endure,” it added.</p>
<h4>‘Commitment to Regional Peace’ – Iran</h4>
<p>Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmael Baqaei <a href="https://twitter.com/IRIMFA/status/1861635331684000051">welcomed</a>
the cessation of the Israeli aggression against Lebanon and reiterated
Tehran’s steadfast support for the Lebanese government, people, and
Resistance, according to a statement from his office.</p>
<p>Baqaei emphasized Iran’s commitment to peace in the region and
highlighted its ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the war in Gaza and
Lebanon over the past 14 months, saying “the result of the Zionist
regime’s warmongering and crimes, with the full support of the United
States and some European governments” has resulted in the killing of
tens of thousands of “innocent people.”</p>
<h4>‘Steadfastness’ – Iraqi Resistance</h4>
<p>“The<a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/70170"> ceasefire</a>
between the fronts of the struggle in Lebanon and the zionist entity
would not have been possible without the steadfastness of the fighters
of Hezbollah and the inability of the zionists to achieve their
objectives. The decision was, without doubt, a purely Lebanese one,” the
Kataeb Hezbollah movement in Iraq said.</p>
<p>“A pause in action by any party within the Axis of Resistance will
not weaken the unity of the fields. On the contrary, new parties will
join, strengthening the sacred front to confront the enemies of Allah,
His Messenger, and the believers,” the movement added.</p>
<h4>‘Implement Resolution 1701’ – Qatar</h4>
<p>Qatar <a href="https://twitter.com/MofaQatar_EN/status/1861733649521037552">welcomed</a>
the ceasefire agreement, saying it hopes “it will serve as a model for a
similar agreement to end the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip and
halt Israeli attacks on the occupied West Bank.”</p>
<p>“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Qatar expresses the
country’s hope that all parties will adhere to the ceasefire agreement,
immediately halt military operations, and fully implement Security
Council Resolution 1701,” the ministry said in a statement.</p>
<p>“Qatar believes this agreement will pave the way for a broader
consensus that ensures lasting peace and stability in the region.”</p>
<h4>‘Maintaining Calm’ – Turkiye</h4>
<p>Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan <a href="https://twitter.com/anadoluagency/status/1861720387530223827">welcomed</a>
the ceasefire and expressed his country’s readiness to contribute in
every way to stop the ongoing massacre in Gaza, and establish a lasting
ceasefire.</p>
<p>“We expect all parties, especially Israel, to fully fulfil their
responsibilities in maintaining calm on the ground,” Erdogan said in his
address to the AK Party’s parliamentary group meeting.</p>
<h4>‘Prelude’ – Egypt</h4>
<p>In a statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry <a href="https://twitter.com/anadoluagency/status/1861724162638639615">said </a>the
ceasefire should be “a prelude to stopping the Israeli aggression in
the Gaza Strip” in addition to “the necessity of reaching an immediate
cease-fire, unhindered access to humanitarian aid to the enclave and
halting the unjustified violations in the West Bank.”</p>
<h4>‘Important Step’ – Jordan</h4>
<p>Jordan hailed the cease-fire as “an important step toward halting
Israel’s aggression on the Gaza Strip and its assaults in the occupied
West Bank.”</p>
<p>It called the deal “a first step towards reducing the escalation that
threatens international peace and security, and maintaining the
delivery of sufficient and sustainable humanitarian aid to all parts of
Gaza.”</p>
<h4>‘Relief’ – Josep Borrell</h4>
<p>EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell <a href="https://twitter.com/JosepBorrellF/status/1861515394676109367">called</a> the ceasefire agreement “a relief in the devastating situation in the Middle East.”</p>
<p>“I want to praise France and the US for their mediation. It is now
crucial that the ceasefire holds, to guarantee the safety of both LEB
& IL citizens, & the return of IDPs,” he added.</p>
<p>“A full implementation of UNSCR1701 is indispensable,” Borrell
continued, and reiterated “my call on the Lebanese leaders to take up
their political responsibility by electing a President. The Lebanese are
entitled to regain full sovereignty on the country’s affairs, w/out
external interference.”</p>
