Lebanese politician Wiam Wahhab said in a tweet he wrote Wednesday that Qatar will be targeted in what appears to be a reaction to Qatar’s foreign minister stating that the Gulf country could possibly intervene militarily in Syria.
“If Qatar implements its military threats in Syria, Doha is going to be shelled,” Wahhab, who leads the pro-Hezbollah Tawhid Party, wrote on his twitter account without explaining by whom.
Hezbollah is a Shiite Lebanese movement currently backing embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in its fighting against rebels including Islamist militants.
Wahhab’s tweets also showed that he is in support for Russia’s airstrikes in Syria, claiming they are effective in getting rid of “terrorists” in Syria.
In one of his tweets, he said Russia has revealed that “the U.S.-led coalition was an act rather than real airstrikes.”
This tweet came after Qatar’s Foreign Minister Khalid al-Attiya suggested in an interview with CNN on Wednesday, that due to Russia’s air campaign in Syria, Doha could possibly intervene militarily, although it prefers a political solution to end the crisis.
He said: ““If a military intervention will protect the Syrian people from the brutality of the regime, we will do it.”
Russia’s air campaign in Syria is also polarizing some in the region with camps supporting the intervention and others fervently opposing it. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has become the latest to feel the growing pressure from Shiite militias wanting Russian airstrikes against ISIS. (Source: Al Arabiya)
