Saudi Gulf Affairs Minister Thamer al-Sabhan on Monday went on with his threats against Lebanon and its resistance.

Sabhan said Lebanon has “declared war against Saudi” because of what he called “aggression” by Hezbollah resistance movement.

“We will treat the government of Lebanon as a government declaring war on Saudi Arabia due to the aggression of Hezbollah,” Sabhan said during interview with Saudi-owned Al-Arabiyah TV network.

The Saudi minister said Riyadh will use all political and other means to confront Hezbollah.

“We expect the Lebanese government to act to deter Hezbollah,” he added.

Sabhan remarks come few days after Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced resignation from Riyadh in a controversial move seen by many commentators as a blatant violation of the Lebanese sovereignty and interference in Lebanese affairs.
