The assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah by an Israeli airstrike on Friday triggered varied reactions across the Arab world. Most Arab countries did not comment on Nasrallah’s death.
Apart from Oman, none of the Gulf states issued statements regarding the assassination. Oman’s grand mufti, the head of religious affairs, expressed his condolences.
