MP Hajj Hassan: We will not be intimidated by Saudi threats

MP Hussein Hajj Hassan said on Saturday that “the issue is not the resignation of Minister George Kordahi, but rather Saudi Arabia's retreat from its aggression against Lebanon.”

“Kordahi was a media person who used his right to freedom of expression to speak out about the absurd Saudi war that has been going on for seven years against oppressed Yemeni people, including massacres, and the entire world considers the Saudi war on Yemen as absurd,” he stressed.

He also said that “Saudi Arabia is infringing on Lebanon's freedom of expression and national sovereignty, interfering in internal issues, and endangering Lebanon and the Lebanese,” adding that “they will not be intimidated by Saudi threats, although they respect all Arab peoples and countries.”
