Tillerson: Hezbollah must cease foreign forays
None
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urged Hezbollah on Thursday to cease its activities abroad to help reduce tensions in the region.
Tillerson said it is unacceptable for a militia like Hezbollah to operate outside the authority of the Lebanese government.
He spoke at a joint press conference with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, an ally of the West who is at odds with Hezbollah.
Tillerson said Hezbollah's engagement in Syria has "perpetuated the bloodshed" in that country and threatens the security of Lebanon.
