Sheikh Yousuf Al-Nasseri, Deputy Secretary-General for Religious and Rapprochement Affairs in the Hizbullah Al-Nujaba Movement, said that "when we get rid of Israel, peace will spread in our countries." Speaking on Al-Nujaba TV on March 10, he said that once Iraq has been liberated, "we will prevent our government from sliding down the slippery slope of succumbing to the will of global arrogance and of the U.S. forces and the American ambassador."
