Hezbollah member of parliament Ali Ammar condemned the joint statement by the embassies of the US, UK, Australia, Canada and Japan on November 5, which called for a "state monopoly on weapons, and that the state alone should make decisions on issues of war and peace", accusing the five countries of interfering in Lebanon's internal affairs and undermining its sovereignty in November. ￭ Ammar described the statement as "a record vulgarity and insolence", and accused the embassies of interfering in "the smallest details of Lebanon's internal affairs" without regard for the country's sovereignty, judicial independence, diplomatic norms or the respect of its people.
