Ali Damoush, the vice chairman of the Executive Council of Hezbollah, says Israel resumed its aggression on Gaza by a US decision, Al Jazeera reports.

“This war from the beginning has been America’s war against the Palestinian people, and all American positions and the course of events were indicative that America is not just a partner, but is the decision-maker on the matter,” he said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.

Aggression and Israel are tools that implement the American decision, he added.

He also said “the resistance in Gaza and in the entire region will not let the Israelis achieve their goals in this war and will not allow the American and Israelis to have the upper hand in the region.”
