Former Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora surged to the media forefront on Sunday, when he lambasted Hezbollah and the latter’s ties with Iran to have allegedly tarnished Lebanese relations with most Arab countries.
According to the pan-Arab daily Al Sharq Al Awsat, the leader of the Future parliamentary bloc blamed the Hezbollah for hurting Lebanon’s interests, and bidding Iran’s welfare instead.
Siniora claimed that Hezbollah transformed the country into a “body without a head,” and told the newspaper  that the ongoing vacuum in the presidency “has created a huge void that allowed Iranian ties with Hezbollah to tarnish Beirut’s relations with Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia.”
Siniora called on Tehran to “distance itself from interfering in the internal affairs of Arab countries”.
Iran’s “systematic” intervention in Lebanon through its favourite militia significantly weakened existing institutions, the former premier insisted, which created a “major political setback” that naturally affected the country’s established ties with leading Arab countries.
