Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Gulf states warn of steps against Hezbollah
2013-06-03
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia - Arab states of the Gulf could take measures against the Lebanese Shia movement Hezbollah, openly involved in the Syrian conflict, the head of their six-member bloc said on Sunday.
"What kind of measures?"
"Stern measures!"
The Gulf Cooperation Council had “decided to look into taking measures against Hezbollah’s interests in the member states,” GCC chief Abdullatif al-Zayani told reporters at the end of a ministerial meeting in the Saudi city of Jeddah. Zayani gave no other details on the nature of the measures or the interests to which he was referring.
Since he didn't himself know...
Bahraini Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Ghanim al-Buainain said that “nobody could cover up Hezbollah’s actions in regional countries.
But Hezbollah could try to kill them all...
“It is a terrorist organisation and this is how Gulf states see it,” he added.

However, placing Hezbollah on the GCC’s terror list was “a technical and legal matter that needs to be further studied”.

At the opening of the meeting, Buainain had called for “a serious stance and united action to end the attacks on the interests of the Syrian people and giving them the right to choose their political regime.”

“We see this today as a clear and flagrant Iranian interference, alongside its ally Hezbollah, in the Syrian crisis using all sorts of weapons and turning Syria into a battle zone that has left thousands of Syrians dead,” he said.

Bahrain, which currently holds the GCC’s rotating presidency, has branded the movement a “terrorist organisation”.
