Friends of Syria Call on Hizbullah to 'Stop Meddling'
2013-06-23
[An Nahar] Countries supporting Syria's rebels demanded on Saturday that Iran and Hizbullah stop meddling in the country's civil war, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said.

"In the text that we have just released, we have demanded that Iran and Hizbullah end their intervention in the conflict," said Fabius, referring to their support for the regime of Bashir al-Assad.

"Hizbullah has played a terribly negative role, mainly in the attack on Qusayr," which was recaptured from rebels earlier this month with the group's help.

"We are fully against the internationalization of the conflict," he told news hounds following a meeting of foreign ministers of the so-called Friends of Syria in Doha.

Earlier at the opening of the meeting, Qatar FM Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani called on Leb to halt the involvement of any party in the conflict in the neighboring country Syria.

"The Lebanese government should stop the intervention of any party in the Syrian conflict," he said.

"escalated the conditions by seeking support from Iran and Lebanese fighters," in a reference to Hizbullah.

Kerry accused Assad of an "internationalization" of the conflict which has claimed nearly 100,000 lives by bringing in the support of Iran and Hizbullah.

The Foreign Ministers held talks in Qatar to discuss boosting their assistance after rebels hailed recent deliveries of new types of weaponry.

#1  Nasrallah managed to do something unplanned: A group of normally-squabbling Sunni Arab nations are cooperating with each other.

As one diplo put it, "Nasrallah f**ked up".
