Hezbollah leader says Israel is pursuing goals in Gaza it cannot achieve

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech on Friday that one of the biggest mistakes Israel is making now in its war against Hamas in Gaza is pursuing goals that it cannot achieve. "For a whole month, Israel could not offer a single military achievement," Nasrallah said, adding that Israel can only get back hostages through negotiation.

Nasrallah blamed the conflict and high Palestinian civilian death toll on the United States.
