Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Awad Asiri has accused Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah of making false allegations against the Kingdom.

Nasrallah’s latest speech is full of slander and false accusations, said the ambassador.

“The speech made by Nasrallah expressed the confusion experienced by the sides he represents [Iran], and contained a lot of slander and false allegations against Saudi Arabia,” Asiri said in a statement.

He said Nasrallah’s words “aimed to distort facts and mislead public opinion.”

Nasrallah’s heated speech Friday slammed Saudi Arabia for the recent military campaign against the Houthis in Yemen.

“The same side supporting Nasrallah and directing the Houthis does not want good for Yemen and has been behind obstructing all agreements and pushing the security situation in the country toward escalation and deterioration,” Asiri said, in reference to Iran.

“We wish some sides would emulate the wisdom of the Kingdom’s leaders.”

“The Saudis have proven that they do not speak two languages,” Asiri responded.

“And its officials have announced several times that the Lebanese presidency is a pure internal matter and that it [Saudi Arabia] does not engage in the game of nominations and candidates, but rather supports whoever is agreed upon by the Lebanese,” said the ambassador.
