Lebanon's anti-Hezbollah Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji faces threats from terrorist group - report
Sources close to the minister said there were concerns that someone could try to harm him because of his strong opposition to Hezbollah and his calls for the organization to be disarmed.
Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji, a vocal critic of Hezbollah, has been receiving security warnings and threats, forcing him to work from home instead of his office, according to Lebanese newspaper An-Nahar. Rajji, who has called for Hezbollah's disarmament, informed Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, and security officials about the dangerous situation.
The Foreign Ministry building in Beirut, where he has been working from home, is relatively exposed and has limited access routes, making it easier for potential attackers to target him. This is not the first time Rajji has faced security concerns; in July, he described Hezbollah as an Iranian-backed organization and demanded that it disarm.
Hezbollah opponents in Lebanon accused the group of creating an intimidating atmosphere, but the report did not provide evidence to support these claims.
