Qaouq: US, Saudi embassies blocking president's election
Hezbollah official Sheikh Nabil Qaouq on Thursday accused the U.S. and Saudi Arabia of “not wanting Lebanon to exit its crises,” charging that they are “working on preventing the Lebanese from engaging in dialogue and reaching consensus.”
“What’s happening at parliament’s sessions for the election of a president proves that the interferences of the U.S. and Saudi embassies have blocked and are blocking the election of a president within the constitutional timeframe, because they and their followers want to impose a presidential candidate for provocation, confrontation and dragging the country into a clash,” Qaouq said.
“The two embassies have put the election of the president on the more difficult and more distant track,” the Hezbollah official added.
He also stressed that Hezbollah wants the election of a president who is “not an employee for embassies” and “does not have the inferiority complex of seeking to please any embassy.”
