Saudi Arabia blames Hezbollah for Israel offensive on Lebanon

By Reuters

U.S. ally Saudi Arabia on Monday stepped up its criticism of Lebanese and Palestinian militants, saying their actions had allowed Israel to wage war against their people.

"Some elements and groups have got loose and slipped into taking decisions on their own that Israel has exploited to wage a ferocious war against Lebanon and to imprison the entire Palestinian people," a cabinet statement said.

- Notably the Saudis put an anti Israel coda on it that Reuters didn't pick up. It is actually possible that the Saudis, having realized that Islamist (even Shia Islamist) suicide bombs can go off in their country also realize that kidnappings and missile attacks can also hit Soddyland.
