Hezbollah chief: Turkey, Saudi Arabia prefer war over political agreement in Syria
None
BEIRUT - Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia and Turkey favored a prolonged war in Syria rather than agreeing to a settlement which would lead to President Bashar Assad staying in power.
Nasrallah also said the talk that the two countries, which support insurgents fighting to topple Assad, were planning to send ground troops to Syria to fight Islamic State was a pretext for them to "to gain a foothold" there.
