After his meeting with the US politicians, Saad Al-Hariri told the international community to leave Hizbollah alone. "We're a very fragile country and we need to resolve our problems within ourselves," he said.

"We have called and asked for the international community to look at Lebanon and give it time to have a national dialogue in Lebanon to resolve all of these issues. We believe that Hizbollah and others are willing to discuss these issues," said Hariri.
