Hezbollah has congratulated the Palestinian people and their resistance against Israel for a “grand victory” in the ceasefire deal.

In a statement released on Monday, the Lebanese resistance movement called it “the culmination of legendary and historic steadfastness” over more than 15 months of Israeli barbarism.

It is “an example to be followed in confronting the Zionist-American aggression against our nation and our region,” Hezbollah said.

"The United States of America is a full partner in the crimes and genocide committed by the enemy against the Palestinian people."

Washington, Hezbollah stated, "bears full responsibility due to its continuous and ongoing support for this occupation militarily, security-wise, intelligence-wise, politically and diplomatically."

"It (the ceasefire) represents a new strategic defeat for the Zionist enemy and its supporters and confirms that the time of imposing dictates has passed and that the will of free peoples is invincible and stronger than all the machines of Zionist and American war and terrorism."

The agreement was a political victory which was added to a military victory, indicating that Israel was unable to achieve its war goals.

"Reaching a ceasefire agreement by imposing the conditions of the resistance and without giving up the rights of the Palestinian people represents a political victory that is added to the military achievement."

Hezbollah said the Palestinian resistance has proven during this battle that it is strong and capable of breaking the arrogance and tyranny of the enemy.

"It confirmed that this temporary entity is a fragile entity that cannot survive and continue and that it will not enjoy security or stability as long as it continues its aggression against our people, our land and its holy sites."

Hezbollah also denounced the silence of the international community toward the crimes of Israel.

An overwhelming majority of the global population are of the view that the Palestinians are the true winners of this illegal genocidal war, with the Israelis irrefutably defeated.

"What the Zionist occupation did during this war by committing the most heinous crimes and genocide, which targeted civilians, children, women and the elderly, will remain a historical witness to the barbarism of this entity and its supporters," it added.

The crimes of Israel, Hezbollah said, "will remain engraved in the memory of generations, and a stigma on the forehead of the silent and indifferent international community."

Elsewhere in the statement, Hezbollah thanked Iran and the Resistance Front in connection with the ceasefire in Gaza.

"We salute the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, along with our brothers in Yemen."
