The secretary general of Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah resistance movement\u00a0says the policies of the United States and Saudi Arabia stoke tensions across the Middle East.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Addressing his supporters via a televised speech\u00a0broadcast live from the Lebanese capital city of Beirut on Friday, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the crises gripping the region were the offspring of wrong policies made in Washington and Riyadh.<\/p>\n\n

The Hezbollah leader said the world cannot tolerate the deadly US-backed Saudi campaign against Yemen.<\/p>\n\n

Pointing to the\u00a0case of missing Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi who was apparently been murdered recently, Nasrallah said the disappearance of the journalist had brought new international fallout and scrutiny on the Saudi war on Yemen.<\/p>\n\n
