Saudi Arabia angry with Hezbollah victories: Pundit
Press TV has conducted an interview with Sukant Chandan, a filmmaker and political commentator from London, and Jihad Mouracadeh, a political analyst from Beirut, to discuss the Arab League’s attempt to demonize the Lebanese resistance movement of Hezbollah.
Chandan censures the Arab League for branding Hezbollah a “terrorist” organization, stressing that the movement is the main force for the “liberation” of the Arab world.
He says Saudi Arabia should instead direct its enmity towards the Israeli regime in the occupied territories of Palestine and not to the resistance movement.
The commentator, however, notes that the Riyadh regime has been annoyed with the strategic and historic victories of Hezbollah in 2000 and 2006 in confronting the Israeli occupiers.
He further says the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council, the Arab League, Turkey, and NATO are facing defeat as a result of the resistance movement’s advances in fighting the Takfiri terrorists in Syria.
The failed attempt to demonize Hezbollah comes from frustration by certain regional states, because their destabilizing policy in Libya has failed to work in Syria thanks to Hezbollah and other allies of the Syrian government, Chandan adds.
It is “ridiculous” that those who promote violence in the Muslim world are trying “to define who is criminal and who is freedom-fighter,” he warns.
Mouracadeh, for his part, believes the Arab League called the resistance movement a “terrorist” organization, because “Hezbollah has not really been fighting Israel for a long time, Hezbollah has really been fighting other forces in Syria, in Yemen, in Iraq, in Kuwait and in Saudi Arabia.”
