Hezbollah parliamentary bloc files official complaint against US ambassador to Lebanon

Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc has lodged an official complaint with Lebanon's foreign ministry against the US ambassador to Beirut following the recent intervention statements.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc has lodged an official complaint with Lebanon's foreign ministry against the US ambassador to Beirut following the recent intervention statements.

Mohammad Raad, the leader of Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc, lodged the complaint with Lebanon's Foreign Minister Nassif Hitti on Monday after US ambassador Dorothy Shea accused Hezbollah of "destabilising the country and jeopardising Lebanon's economic recovery".

"In the name of the Loyalty to Resistance bloc, we lodged with Minister Hitti an official protest letter against the statements and violations of the US ambassador," Raad said, using another name for the parliamentary bloc.

"We asked Minister [Nassif] Hitti to take the measures that he sees appropriate to rein in the US ambassador's behaviour, statements and meddling in our domestic affairs," he said.

"The ambassador must stop interfering in our internal affairs and she must stop the rhetoric that incites the Lebanese."
