Hizballah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah spoke at the Fourth General Arab Conference to Back the Lebanese and Palestinian Resistance, held in Beirut, which was also attended by Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal.

He argued that Arab leaders must change tactics after failing to achieve anything through the peaceful approach.
