During his U.S. visit, March 14 leader Walid Jumblatt accused Hezbollah of working behind the back of the government to establish relations with Israel.Responding to the prisoner swap between Hizbullah and the Jewish state, Jumbtat, who has met in Washington with Democratic and Republican congressmen on Wednesday said: "It is like Israel is saying there is no Lebanese state, but a Hizbullah state." "This is sad and it proves a certain reality that there is some sort of a relation between Hizbullah and Israel," Jumblat told reporters in Washington.
Congress on Monday proposed a resolution condemning Syria, Iran and their Lebanese allies for their meddling in Lebanon and for acting against national interests. Hizbullah criticized the resolution as "interference" in Lebanon's affairs.
