Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah plans to address statements made by exiled Lebanese politician Sa’ad Hariri when he gives a speech to honor “martyred” leaders of the group Tuesday, a Lebanese news site reports.
On Sunday Hariri, back in Lebanon to mark 11 years since the assassination of his father, former prime minister Rafik Hariri, said Lebanon would not be a client state to Iran, seemingly taking aim at Hezbollah.
He also accused the group of spending resources fighting in Syria instead of working to break a political deadlock in Lebanon, without naming them.
“Nasrallah, in his televised speech, is expected to snap back at Hariri and warn against the dangers of a Saudi-Turkish involvement in northern Syria,” Lebanese news site Naharnet reports.
Hezbollah is widely suspected to have been behind Hariri’s assassination in 2005.
