BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 26. Ministers from Hezbollah and its ally Amal boycotted Lebanon's cabinet session on Thursday in protest over the government declaring the Iranian ambassador persona non grata, a Lebanese official told AFP TurkicWorld reports via aawsat.
The two Shiite parties have a combined four ministers, with one independent Shiite also represented in the cabinet present at the meeting, the official said, as the spat over the Iranian diplomat's expulsion escalated.
Hezbollah is an armed movement backed by Iran, which also has political representation in both government and parliament.
