| 2013-09-20 |
| [An Nahar] Hizbullah on Thursday warned of the "risks" posed by the measures that might be taken by Gulf states against some Lebanese expatriates, reiterating its call for security forces to "protect" Dahieh's residents. The party's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc "warns of the risks posed by the recommendations and measures that were announced in some countries in the region against some Lebanese residents, and of the negative repercussions that might target Leb and all the Lebanese without any exceptions," it said in a statement issued after its periodic meeting. On Sunday, undersecretaries of the Gulf Cooperation Council interior ministries discussed possible measures against suspected Hizbullah members living in the Gulf. Bahraini Interior Ministry Undersecretary Khaled al-Absi said the meeting discussed how to put into effect the recently-approved GCC resolution calling on members to take action against Hizbullah members in Gulf region. The measures could include visa cancellation and financial and commercial transaction restrictions. Loyalty to Resistance called on the Lebanese state and all its authorities and agencies to "address this issue as a national cause, not as an issue that has to do with a certain group, sect of religion." |
