Saudi FM: Hezbollah holding Lebanon hostage

Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, Adel al-Jubeir, on Friday blasted Hezbollah, accusing the group of holding Lebanon hostage and demanding that it disarm.

 

Al-Jubeir told reporters in Madrid, according to AFP, that Hezbollah was destabilizing Lebanon by maintaining its arsenal and fighters in the Mediterranean nation.

"You cannot have a militia with a military force that operates outside the scope of the government," he was quoted as having told reporters after talks with Spanish counterpart Alfonso Dastis.

 

"We see Hezbollah hijacking the Lebanese banking system to launder money, we see Hezbollah hijacking Lebanese ports in order to smuggle drugs, we see Hezbollah engaging in terrorist activities and interfering in Syria, Bahrain and Yemen," he charged.

 

"Unless Hezbollah disarms and becomes a (solely) political party, Lebanon will be held hostage by Hezbollah and by extension Iran. This is not acceptable to us and is not acceptable to the Lebanese," Al-Jubeir made clear.

 

The tensions between regional rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia over Lebanon has increased in recent days, following the sudden resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Al-Hariri.

Hariri gave a statement from Riyadh two weeks ago in which he announced he was stepping down because he feared for his life while also accusing Iran and Hezbollah of destabilizing Lebanon.

 

Speculation has swirled around Hariri's prolonged stay in Saudi Arabia since the announcement. READ MORE
