The Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, affirmed that "if the majority of the world is silent about supporting Gaza and supports Israel, it does not mean that it is right." He clarified that "the measure is not the majority, but rather the pursuit of the truth, whether supported by the majority or the minority." During his speech at the central Ashura council at the "Sayyid al-Shuhada" complex in the southern suburb of Beirut, he pointed out that "sectarian loyalty to parties, families, regions, and sects, regardless of right or wrong, is a problem" present in Lebanon.
