"There are no people in the Israeli entity, they are all occupiers and settlers," Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said Monday.

The terrorist leader delivered the remarks at the opening of the "Palestine Emerges Victorious" conference in Lebanon that convened "to renew the media discourse and manage the confrontation with the Zionist regime," according to a report from Iranian news agency Mehr.
Nasrallah also discussed the severe economic crisis in Lebanon that threatens to spill over into massive social unrest, blaming US policy as the "main reason" for the crisis.
"The US bans any aid to solve the crisis in Lebanon. This is to serve the Israeli enemy," he noted.
The country is currently gripped by economic woes, which the World Bank recently estimated could be included among the top-three worst episodes globally since the mid-19th century.
Caretaker Prime Minister Hassan Diab warned on Tuesday that Lebanon was a few days away from a social explosion.
Nasrallah stressed that the US and Israel could not be separated, saying that "when confronting the Israeli occupation and the American hegemony, we cannot divide this confrontation."
The "Palestine Emerges Victorious" conference is reportedly being held at the Coral Beach Hotel in Beirut.
