Saudi FM Says Lebanon 'Will Only Survive' if Hezbollah Disarms

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir has stated that Lebanon "will only survive or prosper if you disarm Hezbollah."


The statement echoes the remark by Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who said that he would not tolerate Iran-backed Hezbollah's positions that "affect our Arab brothers or targets the security and stability of their countries." He later reaffirmed his demand, pledging to remain prime minister in case Hezbollah "accepted to stick by the state policy of staying out of regional conflicts."
