Press TV - The Saudi authorities are “going by Israel’s playbook” in order to pave the way for the Tel Aviv regime to redraw the regional map, but the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah gets in the way of their plan, says a commentator.

“Hezbollah is the wall that keeps all these countries (the Middle Eastern nations) safe. Hezbollah is basically their front guard; otherwise, Israel would have caused havoc in Lebanon, they would have probably even tried to take Lebanon,” Riaz Karim, director of the Veritas Center for Strategic Studies, told Press TV.

Experts say Saudi Arabia's pressures on the Lebanese government to disarm the Hezbollah resistance movement are part of a scenario to wage war against the country.
