BEIRUT: Hezbollah Monday offered its support to Tawhid party chief Wiam Wahhab who is facing a lawsuit for calling former premier Fouad Siniora an Israeli agent.
“We see and hear the voices that speak the dirty language of sectarian strife, and we consider these voices and policies to be serving the projects of the enemies,” Ibrahim as-Sayyed, the head of Hezbollah’s Political Council, said Monday after visiting Wahhab, in reference to Siniora.
Siniora recently came under fire by March 8 figures after launching a scathing attack on Hezbollah and its intervention in Syria, accusing the party of destabilizing Lebanon.
The visit came four days after Siniora filed a lawsuit against Wahhab, accusing him of defamation and slander.
In an interview with Al-Jadeed last week, Wahhab said: “When you listen to Fouad Siniora, you would say that this man is part of the Israeli project.”
He went on to say that “the only way Siniora could become prime minister is if the Israeli plan succeeds in the region.”
Sayyed praised Wahhab and his pro-resistance stance.
“Wahhab is not only a supporter of the resistance, but he is one of the resistance’s [most valued allies],” he said.
“That said, it is very normal that, from time to time, to have mutual visits to exchange opinions and thoughts.”
