A US State Department spokesman confirmed that the State Department was aware of the complaint filed by a pro-Hezbollah lawyer against the Lebanese Ambassador to Washington, Nada Hamada Moawad. He considered it shameful for a military court to consider a complaint against the Lebanese ambassador to Washington, against the backdrop of her implementation of the policy of her legitimate government and her participation in negotiations led by the United States. He believed that the Lebanese military judiciary should allocate its limited resources to prosecuting Hezbollah members who “are planning actions targeting the Lebanese government and the Lebanese people, instead of prosecuting people who work in their interest.” The speaker called for the abolition of laws and practices that allow this type of politicized targeting of civilians and diplomats, at a time when Hezbollah members are systematically protected. “We have run out of patience with attempts at obstruction,” he said.
