Egypt also reiterated its categorical rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism, and of any attempts to destabilize the region.
On Friday, the UAE security authorities said the network was operating under “a fictitious” commercial cover, and was involved in "money laundering, financing terrorism. On Monday, the Kuwaiti authorities said they had uncovered a group linked to Hezbollah that was planning acts aimed at undermining national security.
However, Hezbollah denied the Kuwaiti and Emirati accusations in a separate statement.
