Newsweek wrote an article about Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanese Hezbollah. They said that he disappointed the Palestinians and their supporters.

Nasrallah's Absence

According to Newsweek, Nasrallah has been pretty absent from the public eye during all the tensions going on. Instead, lower-level officials from his party have been speaking to the press and supporters.

Expectations vs. Reality

People were really excited when they heard that Nasrallah would finally speak up. They thought he might announce some big moves or make things even more intense. But guess what? He didn't! Instead, he just talked about how Hezbollah joined the conflict on October 8th and called for a ceasefire in Gaza. He also showed support for Hamas and the Palestinian people.

America's Response

The United States knew about Nasrallah's speech too. A spokesperson from the US State Department said that they didn't want things to escalate or get worse. They warned that the attacks could turn into a bigger war between Israel and Lebanon than what happened in 2006.

Hezbollah's Strategy

Avi Melamed, a former Israeli intelligence official, shared his thoughts on Hezbollah's position. He said that Nasrallah's words didn't convince him because he believes Hezbollah is capable of much more than what they've shown so far.

That's all from Newsweek's report. It seems like Nasrallah's speech didn't meet everyone's expectations. We'll have to wait and see what happens next!
