    “Lebanese and all people of the region must put all differences aside,” he said. “I call on every Lebanese, Palestinian, Iraqi, Syrian and any Gulf national to leave sectarian intolerance behind and think that this phenomenon is not a threat against Shias only. No one should regard this battle as a sectarian one, it is a takfiri war against anyone who opposed it.”

    Nasrallah challenged the idea that Hezbollah retreating from Syria would make Lebanon less likely to be targeted by ISIS.

    “Critics say Hezbollah needs to leave Syria, but do you really think this will stop ISIS?” He asked. “Others suggested Lebanon disassociate itself from the Syrian conflict, but do you really think this will protect Lebanon?”

    Nasrallah pointed out that other Lebanese political parties have not disassociated from the Syrian conflict, but weren’t as harshly criticized for it as Hezbollah. He also derided the idea of placing UNIFIL troops along the border with Syria, saying “UNIFIL can’t even protect itself.”

    Nasrallah called for unified regional action to counter ISIS.
