Senior Hezbollah leader: Saudi-Israel reconciliation is "stab in back" to Palestinian struggle


(MENAFN) A senior leader in Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance organization has condemned Saudi Arabia's covert efforts to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, calling such steps a "stab in the back" to the Palestinian cause and people.

The deputy chief of Hezbollah's executive council, Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, stated on Monday, June 27th, “Israeli threats against the ... resistance [front] are futile, and will not undermine Lebanon's strength, which depends on its army, nation and resistance front."

He highlighted, “Any alliance between Saudi Arabia and Israel will be like stabbing a dagger in the back of Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and the entire Muslim world.”

“Lebanon and Hezbollah are loyal to Palestine and the Palestinian cause,” Sheikh Qaouk added.
According to Israel's foreign minister, the government expects US President Joe Biden's Middle East trip next month to help strengthen relations with Saudi Arabia.

“The fact that the president’s going to fly directly from here to Saudi Arabia is probably signifying that there is a linkage between the visit and the ability to improve relations,” Yair Lapid asserted at a meeting in al-Quds.
