The European Union and the United States on Wednesday reaffirmed support for Lebanon after the resignation of its prime minister, striking a sharp contrast to Saudi Arabia, which accuses Beirut of declaring war because of the Shi\u2018ite group Hezbollah.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Statements of support from EU ambassadors to Lebanon and the United States have set a different tone to their Sunni Gulf ally Saudi Arabia, which has lumped Lebanon together with the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah as parties hostile to it.<\/p>\n

Lebanon has been pitched into deep crisis since the Saudi-allied Saad al-Hariri resigned on Saturday in a speech delivered from Saudi Arabia in which he accused Hezbollah and Iran of sowing strife in the Arab world and cited fear of assassination.<\/p>\n

The circumstances surrounding Hariri\u2019s sudden resignation have given rise to wide speculation that he had been caught up in a high-level anti-corruption purge in Saudi Arabia, where his family made their fortune, and coerced into resigning.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia has denied this along with reports that it has put Hariri under house arrest. It says he quit because Hezbollah was calling the shots in the government.<\/strong><\/div>\n

The move has pulled Lebanon back to the forefront of a regional struggle between the Sunni monarchy of Saudi Arabia and the Shi\u2018ite Islamist government of Iran, a rivalry which has also swept through Syria, Iraq, Bahrain and Yemen.<\/p>\n

It has plunged Lebanon into political crisis and hit market confidence in the heavily indebted Lebanese state. A sell off of Lebanese bonds continued for a third day on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The U.S. ambassador to Lebanon said on Wednesday the United States remained \u201ccommitted to a stable, secure, democratic, and prosperous Lebanon\u201d during a meeting with Lebanese army commander General Joseph Aoun, a U.S. embassy statement said.<\/p>\n

The meeting was to announce a U.S. government reimbursement of $42.9 million for border operations conducted by the Lebanese army, a major recipient of U.S. military aid.<\/p>\n

The United States classifies Hezbollah as a terrorist group even as it supports the weak Lebanese state, drawing a line between the two in a long-standing policy.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the U.S. State Department said Lebanon was a strong U.S. partner. \u201cThe United States strongly supports the legitimate institutions in the Lebanese state,\u201d spokeswoman Heather Nauert said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect all members of the international community to respect fully those institutions and the sovereignty and political independence of Lebanon,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In a statement, EU ambassadors to Lebanon said they reaffirmed \u201ctheir strong support for the continued unity, stability, sovereignty, and security of Lebanon and its people\u201d.<\/p>\n

SYRIAN REFUGEES<\/h3>\n

Lebanon has also received significant Western aid to help it cope with the strain of hosting 1.5 million Syrian refugees, equivalent to around a quarter of the population.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hezbollah, set up by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in 1982, is the most powerful group in Lebanon, with a guerrilla army that outguns the national military and major sway in government.<\/p>\n

Neither Hezbollah nor the Lebanese government have responded to accusations made by Saudi Gulf affairs minister Thamer al-Sabhan that both Lebanon and Hezbollah had declared war on the kingdom.<\/p>\n

President Michel Aoun, a Hezbollah ally who took office last year, has refused to accept Hariri\u2019s resignation, saying he first wants him to return to Lebanon so he can meet him in person to understand the reasons.<\/p>\n

Aoun said Lebanon\u2019s security and economy were stable and the presidency still viewed Hariri as prime minister, Lebanese media reported. Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has said the coalition government led by Hariri still stands.<\/p>\n

Policymakers say there is no concern for the Lebanese pound – which has been pegged against the U.S. dollar at the same rate for two decades – thanks to record levels of foreign currency reserves.<\/p>\n
