SA Says Lebanon Bears Consequences of Hizbullah's Deeds
Saudi Arabia has lashed out at what it said are “brutal crimes” of Hizbullah, meanwhile Lebanese diplomatic sources told al-Joumhouria daily on Tuesday that Lebanon will pay the price of Hizbullah's “madness” and intervention in regional conflicts.
In a comment posted on Twitter, Saudi Minister of State for Gulf Affairs Thamer al-Sabhan lashed out at Hizbullah accusing the party of committing “brutal crimes,” as he urged the Lebanese to stand against it.
“The brutal crimes committed by the Party of Satan against our nation will inevitably reflect on Lebanon. The Lebanese must either choose to stand by the party or against it. Arabs' blood is precious,” said al-Sabhan on his personal Twitter account.
Meanwhile, unnamed Lebanese diplomatic sources said in remarks to al-Joumhouria that “Riyadh considers Hizbullah a satanic and terrorist party that has killed, destroyed and trained in various Arab countries and must bear the consequences of its deeds together with its allies.”
The sources expressed their belief that “Lebanon is going to pay a dear price for Hizbullah's insanity if the party is not confronted inside,” Lebanon.
They assured that Saudi Arabia's position reflected through al-Sabhan is addressed “to every free Lebanese who rejects repression and terrorism,” they said.
