Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is the secretary-general of the Lebanese political party and resistance movement, Hezbollah. In February of 2006, before the Israel waged War on Lebanon, three former US diplomats had a chance to meet with Sayyed Nasrallah as part of a delegation to the Middle East organised by the Council for the National Interest. During the meeting, Sayyed Nasrallah outlined the origins of the conflicts in the Middle East, the formation of Hezbollah and the story of the national resistance movement in Lebanon. During the meeting, Sayyed Nasrallah discussed Hezbollah's strategy to free Lebanese prisoners being held illegally in Israel. He also recollected the role that the United Nations Security Council, the United States and member states of the Arab Union played in recent Lebanese history during which they not only made no attempt to avail the Lebanese people of the military occupation at the hands of Israel, but instead supported the aggressions against Lebanon and labelled its' resistance movements as terrorists.
