Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem appealed to Saudi Arabia to turn “a new page” and set unified front against Israel

Hezbollah’s effort to blunt international pressure on Lebanon to disarm the group by appealing to Saudi Arabia last week was the result of back-channel diplomacy by Iran, two Iranian sources and a source with knowledge of Hezbollah thinking said. Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem appealed to Saudi Arabia to turn “a new page” and set aside past disputes to create a unified front against Israel in a speech last week, a move widely seen as signalling the Iran-backed Shi’ite Muslim group’s alarm at the push to make Lebanon implement a plan for disarming it.One of the Iranian sources said the subject of Hezbollah’s weapons was one of the main topics of discussion during Larijani’s trip to Riyadh. The other Iranian source said Larijani had told Saudi Arabia that neither Lebanon nor the wider region would benefit from disarming Hezbollah. What is your take on Hezbollah call ?
