Al-Mustaqbal Movement slammed on Thursday Hizbullah, accusing it of prioritizing its subordination to the Islamic Republic of Iran over the Arab identity and Lebanese interests.
The statement that was published in al-Mustaqbal newspaper, the mouthpiece of the Sunni party, lashed out at Hizbullah, stressing that the party's allegations against al-Mustaqbal movement is merely a new attempt to impose the developments in Yemen on Lebanon.
The statement stressed that Hizbullah's “hatred storm” in response to the Saudi-led Arab coalition against the Huthi rebels in Yemen only serves Iran, pointing out that it will have repercussions on the national interests of the Lebanese.
“Hizbullah condemned itself by drowning the Lebanese in a war of words,” the statement added, justifying al-Mustaqbal movement's counter response by considering it “an attempt to defuse the tension caused by those who are waging a campaign against Arabs and to defend Lebanon's Arab identity and the interests of the expats.”
