Beirut - Visiting Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassm al-Thani met for talks with Hezbollah chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon on Saturday, the radical Shiite movement said in a statement.
The two discussed the latest domestic and regional developments, including Israel's recent accusation that Syria supplied Hezbollah with Scud missiles and "Arab responsibilities" towards the Palestinian cause, according to Hezbollah.
"The Israeli and US remarks about transferring Scud missiles to Hezbollah aim at pressuring the resistance forces (Hezbollah) and the defiance nations (Israel and Syria)," Nasrallah said in a separate statement.
"There is no eruption of war in the region in the current period because there are no political objectives to be achieved (by Israel) through war," he said.
Hezbollah and Israel fought a bloody 33-day war in 2006. Syria and Iran are main backers of the Lebanese Shiite movement which is considered a terrorist organization by the US and European Union.
The Qatari premier has met with several Lebanese officials since his arrival in Beirut on Wednesday. He and his Lebanese counterpart, Saad Hariri, signed 13 economic, media, security and agriculture agreements with his counterpart Saad Hariri.
