BEIRUT: Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah has criticized a U.S. plan to increase military assistance to Arab countries, accusing Washington of seeking to drown the Middle East in wars.
Nasrallah was referring to a proposed U.S. plan announced earlier this week to sell advanced weaponry worth at least US$20 billion (€15 billion) to Persian Gulf nations and provide new 10-year military aid packages to Israel and Egypt.
"The United States is bringing billions of dollars worth of arms to ignite wars in this region," Nasrallah said in a speech beamed through giant television screens to hundreds of thousands of supporters in eastern Lebanon's city of Baalbek
