In remarks carried by Al-Manar, Sheikh Qassem stressed importance of the forensic audit, noting that “going ahead with ambiguity over the situation of the central bank will lead for more collapse.”

In this regard, Sheikh Qassem said that the government, judiciary and Parliament should follow up on this forensic audit issue.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah stressed on Wednesday that the recent Saudi offer to reach a ceasefire agreement with Yemen’s Ansarullah is a mere deception, emphasizing that the Yemeni command and Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddin Al- Houthi may never accept it.
