Lebanon's anti-Hezbollah Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji faces threats from terrorist group – report

Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji, a vocal opponent of Hezbollah, has been working from home and avoiding his office due to security warnings and threats, according to Lebanese newspaper An-Nahar. Sources close to Rajji indicate concerns that he could be harmed due to his strong stance against Hezbollah and his calls for the group's disarmament. Rajji has informed President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, and security officials about the situation and has requested increased protection. He described Hezbollah as "Iranian in its orientation and not Lebanese in its identity." This development occurs amid a broader Lebanese government effort to establish state monopoly over arms and end Hezbollah's military activities.
