JERUSALEM - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described Hezbollah on Wednesday as a risk to Middle East stability and conferred with Israel about the heavily armed, Iranian-backed Lebanese group ahead of a trip to Beirut.
Meeting Israeli President Reuven Rivlin in Jerusalem, Pompeo listed Hezbollah, Palestinian Hamas and Yemen’s Houthis - all recipients of Iranian support - as “entities that present risks to Middle East stability and to Israel”. In a speech broadcast on the Persian new year on Thursday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the Islamic Republic had successfully resisted “unprecedented, strong” U.S. sanctions.
“If some will happen from Lebanon toward Israel, we will hold Lebanon as the responsible ”, Rivlin said, speaking in English. In a further signal of solidarity with Israel, Pompeo was later scheduled, accompanied by Netanyahu, to visit Judaism’s Western Wall in Jerusalem’s Old City.
DanWilliams Well you approve of the embassy move, and cutting funding to impoverished... as you still fund Israel. Do you know how simple things work?
DanWilliams Middle east has never been stable. SecPompeo from prehistorical days to now, and when it was kind of stable the US went out of its way to thoroughly shake it up. Funny thing they shook up the Chiites and ended up with Sunnis blasting down the WTC.
