Ynetnews reports: The Lebanese Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah said on Thursday it supported calls for a new Palestinian uprising in response to the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and urged support for “resistance” against the move.

“We support the call for a new Palestinian intifada (uprising) and escalating the resistance which is the biggest, most important and gravest response to the American decision,” Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in a televised speech. “The Israeli enemy and its leaders do not respect international resolutions, it is proven,” Nasrallah began, claiming all Israel cares about is the approval of the United States.

“For decades, successive Israeli governments have tried to Judaize Jerusalem and expropriate it in all aspects,” he continued, warning that Trump’s move could now lead to Palestinian in the city living under an even worse form of occupation, and further embolden Israel to build in Palestinian-claimed territories.”
