IDF chief surprised by Hariri resignation, says Hezbollah is cash-strapped
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRegarding the sudden resignation of former Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri last week, Eisenkot says the move was “complicated” and “surprising.”
Hariri said he quit due to an alleged Iranian plan to assassinate him.
Eisenkot says the move also reflects a decline in support for Hezbollah among the Lebanese, and notes, “Hezbollah is beginning to feel financial pressure and starting to get into big material problems.”
