Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warned other countries Friday against using Lebanon for "proxy conflicts" following a crisis triggered by its prime minister's resignation.
Tillerson also called the premier, Saad Hariri, who announced his resignation Nov. 4, from Saudi Arabia, as a "strong partner" of the United States.
"The United States cautions against any party, within or outside Lebanon, using Lebanon as a venue for proxy conflicts or in any manner contributing to instability in that country," Tillerson said in a statement.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah on Friday accused Saudi Arabia of detaining Hariri and of asking the Shiite movement's arch-foe Israel to launch strikes on Lebanon
