Calls for support for the Palestinian struggle
Lebanese militant Georges Abdallah called on Friday to support the Palestinian struggle "more than ever" in his first statements after arriving in Beirut.
"Resistance is rooted in this land and cannot be uprooted, it is not weak but strong. Martyrs are at the forefront of our resistance. We must protect resistance more than ever," Abdallah said after landing at Beirut International Airport.
It has also described it as "shameful" that the Arab world is "watching" the suffering of the people of the Gaza Strip.
"And I'm not talking about fighters, I'm talking about traditional social movements. Where are they?
