Tensions in Lebanon hit boiling point as Hezbollah supporters and angry crowds forced U.S. Ambassador and Special Envoy for Syria, Tom Barrack, to cut short his southern Lebanon tour.
Protesters erupted against Washington’s push to disarm Hezbollah, clashing with security forces and blocking his scheduled stops.
The envoy’s controversial remarks telling journalists to “act civilized” added fuel to the fire, sparking backlash from the Lebanese presidency.
