Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Awad Assiri denounced on Sunday the speech delivered by the Secretary General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, accusing him of misleading the public and defaming the Saudi kingdom.
“Nasrallah’s speech defamed Saudi Arabia and included several fallacies aimed at distorting the facts and misleading the public,” Assiri said in a statement.
Regarding the situation in Yemen, Ambassador Assiri noted that “all the sides that are supporting Nasrallah and mobilizing the Houthis do not wish well for Yemen.”
“These sides were behind the obstruction of agreements on Yemen and forced the security situation to deteriorate,” he noted.
