Lebanese expatriates living and working in the Gulf say they feel threatened after recent fiery Hezbollah statements against Saudi Arabia, according to a report published Tuesday.

Local daily Al-Liwaa said Lebanese businessmen working in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar plan to form delegations to visit countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to express solidarity with the decisions taken by the governments of those countries, especially Saudi Arabia’s King Salman for his initiative to launch a military offensive against Houthi rebels in Yemen.

It said Lebanese expats working in GCC countries would make similar visits to Lebanese officials to express their concern because they are living in fear after Hezbollah’s latest verbal attacks against Gulf leaders, particularly the Saudi monarch.
