An official from Yemen’s foreign ministry said that Lebanese ‘Hezbollah’ is a partner in shedding the blood of Yemenis by insisting on sabotage roles.
This came in response to a letter sent by Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil to his Yemeni counterpart Khaled al-Yemany confirming that his government's position on the Yemeni crisis does not necessarily agree with that of all political powers in Lebanon.
He said that Lebanon distances itself from disputes and wars and does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries to serve its interests.
The Yemeni government has earlier sent a letter of protest to the Lebanese government in regards to Hezbollah's interference in Yemen's internal affairs by its support to the Houthi coup militia, according to Saba news agency.
The official told Saba that Bassil's letter indicates that Hezbollah has abandoned the Lebanese government's policy to distance itself from conflicts in the region.
"The insistence of Hezbollah on acts of vandalism makes it an accomplice in shedding the Yemeni blood," said the source.
He stressed that the Yemeni government is capable of defending its people and protecting the country's supreme interests.
The source warned that Hezbollah will regret its interventions in Yemeni affairs.
Yemen has brotherly relations with Lebanon and will continue to strengthen these relations to serve the interests of both countries, the official said.
He added that Hezbollah’s position will not affect those relations, wishing Lebanon security and stablity.
