Published Updated

Hezbollah has branded Lebanese President Joseph Aoun’s recent visit to Washington a failure and said it shows the government’s submission to a foreign power, AFP reports.

In a statement, the group’s lawmakers say the visit reveals “the extent of subservience and submission to foreign tutelage”, adding that it “failed to achieve … an American commitment to the withdrawal of the enemy from our land”, referring to Israel.
