BEIRUT: Hezbollah denounced Thursday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the U.S. Congress as "disgusting" and "hostile" and warned of advancing Israeli interests at the expense of the American people.
“What is disgusting is that Netanyahu stood there like a fox in sheep's clothing, calling on Iran to stop its aggressions in the Middle East,” Hezbollah MP Hussein al-Moussawi said in a statement released by the party’s media office.
Moussawi described Netanyahu's speech as “rich in its hostility toward the Islamic Republic of Iran,” saying that it reflected the positions of “American Zionist lobby groups.”
Addressing the American people, the MP questioned how they could accept a Congress that clearly served Zionist interests and turned a blind eye to crimes against humanity committed by Israel. “More importantly, how can this population accept the fact that Israel’s interests are secured at the expense of the interests of American people?” he added.
The MP also criticized some Arab rulers, especially those in the Gulf, whom he claimed had made “a friend” out of Netanyahu due to their shared hostility towards Iran.
Netanyahu said in his speech to the U.S. Congress Tuesday that a nuclear deal would all but guarantee that Tehran obtains nuclear weapons.
