Anti-Hezbollah demonstrators in Kuwait burn posters of Sayyed Nasrallah
         
Several anti-Hezbollah demonstrators on Tuesday took to the street in front of the Lebanese embassy in Kuwait to protest the Shiite group’s interference in the Syrian crisis.          

The demonstrators burnt posters of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and chanted slogans against the Lebanese group.    

The protesters also called for blacklisting Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, referring to it as “Hezboshaytan” or “Party of Satan”.             

They also called for the expulsion of the Lebanese ambassador in Kuwait.              

Photos of the sit-in uploaded on social media platforms indicated that the demonstrators were Islamists.

Meanwhile several Kuwaiti supermarket chains have begun boycotting products from Iran for its support of the Syrian regime and to protest Hezbollah's intervention in the Syrian war, Agence France Presse reported.        

“At least nine cooperative consumer societies out of 50 in the oil-rich Gulf state published announcements in the local media on Wednesday saying they have taken Iranian products off their shelves in protest at Tehran's backing of President Bashar Assad and Hezbollah,” AFP added. Cooperative societies control a majority of the retail consumer market in Kuwait.           

On Monday, the Gulf Cooperation Council states said they will take measures against members of Hezbollah, affecting their "residency permits, and financial and commercial transactions," said a GCC statement, citing a ministerial council decision.       

The GCC includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
