Beirut: Lebanon's Hezbollah leader has praised an Arab decision to halt peace talks with Israel, saying the only option remaining is armed resistance against the Jewish state.
Hassan Nasrallah spoke to tens of thousands gathered in Hezbollah's southern Beirut stronghold for the Ashura - a holiday observed by Shiites world over marking the anniversary of the seventh-century death of Imam Hussain.
Nasrallah's remarks came a day after Arab foreign ministers rejected any Israel-Palestinian peace talks before the US takes a firm stance on the future borders of a Palestinian state.
Nasrallah says Arab leaders finally realised that talks with Israel are "dead." Nasrallah, who lives in hiding, spoke through a video link.
